Title: Deep Texas Soul
Review: Vastly underrated and underrecorded Texas soul and funkster's mid to late 60's recorded output for Huey P. Meaux's Crazy Cajun label. Medwick was a staff songwriter during the 50's and 60's for Don Robey's Duke/Peacock label where he penned several successful hits for Bobby Bland including, "further on up the road" and "cry cry cry". Although, known less for his singing than his songwriting abilities Medwick proves well beyond a dobt that he's got more than an average set of pipes, convincingly tackling everything from the guttiest of gut wrenching ballad's to sanctified soul, Texas funk and r&b numbers.This disc is certainly worth it's weight in soul, my only complaint being the sometimes oppresive church organ which challenges rather then compliments Mr.Medwick's efforts. A nice find for lovers of no frills deep fried southern soul!
