3614 Jackson Highway

3614 Jackson Highway

2008 reissue of this solo album from the female half of Sonny & Cher, originally released in 1969 on Atco Records. Astute Pop/Rock music fans might note the familiarity of 3614 Jackson Highway as the former home of the legendary Muscle Shoals Sound Studio. As the Atlantic Records production team: Jerry Wexler, Tom Dowd and Arif Mardin had done six months earlier on Dusty Springfield's Dusty in Memphis album, they chose to juxtapose their Pop diva with a band affectionately known as the Scampers. Throughout 3614 Jackson Highway they are able to create a similar seminal R&B vibe for these sessions. This album reveals that not only did Cher have soul, but the Scampers are the quintessential foil for her decidedly unique style. Like Soul Music serpent charmers, they summon from Cher the most authentic, if not interesting work she had been responsible for. 11 tracks. Rhino UK.
