Willie Wright - Ain't No Sunshine - Cannonball Records

B/W - Acoustic Version

Condition - M (New Release)

Many of you will know Willie Wright for the terrific elusive self-produced version of Mayfield's "Right On For The Darkness". During his career Mr. Wright composed literally hundreds of songs and studio sessions, mainly in acoustic with just his voice and a guitar, which never came to light. Mr. Wright and his lifetime mates BillyBob, who help him to manage the rights of his stuff, have entrusted Cannnball Records to release and arrange his catalogue of unissued gems. Man was a real street soul artist who stylewise went along the line of the likes of Richie Havens rather than the glittered world of the soul majors of the time. One of these recordings is an acoustic version of Bill Wither's "Ain't No Sunshine" and they are proud to serve it to you as rough as it gets out of the Nantucket's basement where it was originally one-track recorded over four decades ago, using minimal equipment. On the other side we did our best to craft our angle on a possible arrangement of the tune.
