Oh my soul, indeed! Monstrous never before issued 1974 tracks from the
Memphis legends whose celebrated Ardent LP's NO. 1 RECORD (1972) and RADIO

rollers worldwide!  Stunning studio rehearsals with plus pounding long lost
tapes of the band live at the Overton Park Shell in their hometown! Never

CHURCH KEYS - WORK WITH IT!!! (Norton LP & CD 269) The toast of New York's
Lower East Side entertainment set serves up their debut longplayer with an
invite to TURN IT UP and WORK WITH IT!  Church Keys feature former members
of A-Bones and Talismen and deliver R&B slop in the revered tradition of
the Raunch Hands. Having honed their talents as the house band at the
esteemed Lakeside Lounge, this loud n' lively pack ramcharge through
worshipful nuggets like  Ike Turner's sly Hoodoo Say and Sugarboy
Crawford's raucous Overboard with the same irreverent steam as they allow
their future gold-worthy originals such as Eldorado and Brother Was You
Prayin'. You've romped to their debut Norton seven incher Viva Viva Rock
And Roll, now dig a session's worth of lusty Church Key gems! See why R&B
kingpin Andre Williams says, "I have seen a lot of rock groups and by far
the Church Keys got it going on...one of my favorite groups!"
