Holy Moly, holy Moses\u2026<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

This is a song about a bad girl
\nSomething that happened to me long time ago
\nEverybody was telling me how the little girl was running around
\nI had a head of my own
\nand I just wouldn’t listen to nobody<\/p>\n

my father he told me
\nmy mother sat down and cried
\nsaid son this woman will break your heart
\nand then she’ll put you down<\/p>\n

that’s when I told mama these words
\nlord have mercy<\/p>\n

baaaaaad girl mama
\nbad, bad girl<\/p>\n

mama they call her bad girl
\nall because she wanted to be free<\/p>\n

but i’m in love with the little girl
\nand i believe that she loves me.<\/p>\n

what my heart feels
\nmy lips must confess
\nso I will never let her alone<\/p>\n

i don’t care if they call her bad<\/p>\n

bad girl, mama
\nlord have mercy<\/p>\n

bad, bad girl<\/p>\n

love is a mystery
\nnever can be explained by anything<\/p>\n

but i believe one of these days
\nthe whole world will understand<\/p>\n

what my heart feels
\nmy lips must confess
\nso i will
\nnever let that little girl alone<\/p>\n

i don’t care if they call her bad
\nbad girl
\nyou better believe it, mama.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

Lee Moses’ 1971 LP on Maple Records called Time and Place<\/em> has long been the Holy Grail for R&B and soul collectors, and one listen to this Atlanta musician’s scratchy and funky guitar playing and his raspy and throat shedding deep soul singing style should be enough to convince anyone that he was indeed a great lost soul treasure. Moses, who died unsung in Atlanta in 1997, recorded a handful of singles for the Musicor, Dynamo and Gates imprints in the late ’60s and early ’70s as well as that sole LP, and Castle Music has finally put all of it together in what is essentially a complete recorded works package. It’s easy to hear what all the fuss is about. This guy was the real deal, playing and singing with an uncommon passion and tracks here like the powerfully emotional \u00abI’m Sad About It,\u00bb the funky and name-checking tour de force<\/em> \u00abGot That Will,\u00bb and the stunning ballad \u00abMy Adorable One\u00bb (there are two versions of this song included here, and both are gems) should have been huge radio hits in a fair and equitable world. Also impressive are the instrumental versions of \u00abReach Out I’ll Be There\u00bb and \u00abDay Tripper\u00bb which were originally released as a doubled-sided single by Musicor in 1967, both cuts exhibiting an engagingly ragged and soulful exuberance that still sounds fresh and vital forty-odd years later and show Moses to be a finely nuanced and undeniably funky guitarist. But it is Moses’ searing vocals that will garner most of the attention, which is as it should be. Taken as a whole, this edition of Time and Place<\/em> sounds like a secular gospel meeting with Moses’ singing passing for a fired-up preacher’s impassioned sermon as he shouts, growls and purrs through the ins and outs and the ups and downs of love as convincingly as any soul singer one can name. That Moses never had so much as a regional hit seems criminal and his death in 1997 in complete obscurity is an incalculable tragedy. Big thanks go out to Castle Music for bringing these remarkable lost treasures of Lee Moses back into the world.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
