Mayer, Nathaniel
Why Don't You Give It To Me
40 years on from his chart-topping hit "Village of Love" and Fortune Records classics "I Had a Dream" and "I Want Love and Affection (Not the House of Correction)", Detroit soul legend NATHANIEL MAYER with his backing band comprised of members Outrageous Cherry, The Dirtbombs, The black Keys and SSM, comes with this amazing album! Soul music with a psychedelic rock n' roll heart that has as much in common with the Stooges and MC5 as it does with Nathaniel's R&B contemporaries like Jackie Wilson, Marvin Gaye, and the Miracles. "Why Don't You Give It to Me?" ought to flip a few wigs, new and old. It's somehow in the same bag as the Stooges' "Raw Power", early Funkadelic, and the psychedelic Temptations. It is also the sound of the streets of modern-day Detroit, the sound of good vibrations amid the rampant chaos.
