Brand New Z.Z. Hill

An American blues singer who helped define the soul blues tradition, Z.Z. Hill was perhaps best known for his 1970s and 1980s recordings for the Malaco label and for the track Down Home Blues, cited as the best known blues song of the 1980s. In 1971 Hill hooked up with iconic producer Jerry Williams Jr., better known as Swamp Dogg to record an album in Muscle Shoals, Alabama. Swamp Dogg produced, arranged and conceived the album, plays piano and organ, and provides guest vocals on "Faithful And True". "Hold Back (One Man At A Time)" and "Early In The Morning" produced and arranged by Jerry Williams, Jr. and Quin Ivy. The Brand New Z.Z. Hill turned out to be one of Hills best albums, yielding hits with The Chokin Kind and Faithful And True. Long out of print, the album finally becomes available in the digital realm, newly remastered.
