She's All I Got/ Ain't Nothing In The News (But The Blues)

From a warehouse find, this is a new, unplayed stock copy, in its original factory sleeve. Both sides of this single are absolutely killer slices of southern-U.S.-style, Funky Soul. The hit side is a terrific remake of a country hit from the same year, and the flip is a fine bit of social commentary with a seriously funky arrangement. The sentiment seems particularly appropriate for 2009, don't you think? By the way, this is the very best kind of soul 45... It's not particularly rare, and it hasn't yet developed a ravenous following, so a pristine mint copy like this one can still be had for a reasonable price.
