I Just Cant Help Myself

Description

One of the best albums that Terry Callier ever recorded and a masterpiece of the baroque soul crossover style that was going down at the Chess/Cadet label at the time! Terrys own folksy singing and playing would be more than enough to make this record great but its given an amazing edge by Richard Evans and Charles Stepney, who create these floating pillows of sound and washes of jazzy colors that fit Terrys moods perfectly, and really expand the emotional intensity of the songs. At the time of this release, the Chess empire was falling apart but the forces that be put a great last push into the record, and Terrys backed by superb work from Chicago studio giants like Phil Upchurch, Don Myrick, Art Hoyle, Bobby Christian, Cleveland Eaton, Louis Satterfield, and Evans and Stepney themselves! Every track is a wonder, and titles include Alley-Wind Song , Cant Catch the Trane, Bowlin Green, and Until Tomorrow.
