The Hi Rhythm Sessions

The recent accolades afforded Al Green's new album, 'Lay It Down,' were due to his recapturing of his legendary Hi sound, which characterized all his hit recordings of the 70's. With the release of "Hi-Rhythm Sessions" (STS CD 6362) Tuff City's Soul-Tay-Shus imprint becomes the first label ever outside of HI (or its owners) to reissue recordings from the peak years of this legendary Memphis music label. Gene Anderson is well known to soul and funk enthusiasts for the rare recordings he did for various Memphis and St Louis labels. These previously unreleased, circa 1974 recordings done at Hi, featuring pristine mixes directly from multi-tracks, are absolutely the equal of almost all other Hi recordings. Tuff City is readying an anthology of Anderson's funk and electro recordings, 'Cold Blooded Games in the Ghetto.' Anderson's career continues to go strong as a key member of George Clinton's Parliament Funkadelic.
