Description
This is the first-ever reissue for the tracks recorded by Bob Catfish Hodge's on three albums for Armen Boladian's Westbound and Eastbound labels. The three albums: Boogieman Gonna Get Ya (1972), Dinosaurs And Alleycats (1974) and Soap Opera's (sic) from 1975. In addition Ace have added three previously unreleased tracks. The mix is boogie rock, singer-songwriter introspection with a little touch of Detroit soul. His first album was produced by Funkadelic's Calvin Simon at the same time as the sessions for the America Eats Its Young LP were being recorded. The follow-up was recorded at Motown Studio B in Detroit. The West Coast-sounding third album featured guest appearances from Bonnie Raitt, Dr John and Flying Burrito Brother Sneaky Pete Kleinow. The booklet contains illustrations of all his Eastbound & Westbound releases, rare photos sourced from the original photographer used on his album covers and a new in-depth interview with Catfish Hodge conducted at the end of last year specially for this CD.
