Tuff City/Night Train International is particularly proud to announce the release of Pearl Woods’ “Sippin’ Sorrow (with a Spoon)”. Somehow these stellar gems from the classic R&B / rock ‘n’ roll era have slipped through the cracks of history. Able to master the broadest range of styles, Pearl Woods’ records evoke Carole King, Esther Phillips and Tina Turner. Pearl Woods’ music is a fine example of the excellent R&B and pop that bounced between Uptown’s Harlem and Midtown’s Tin Pan Alley. Sippin’ Sorrow (With A Spoon) is the first and most comprehensive collection of Pearl Woods’ music. Grammy Award winning audio engineer Ken Robertson digitally remastered these extremely rare and unreleased recordings. The CD contains a 12-page booklet with rare unpublished photos and comprehensive liner notes.
