Soul Flowers Of Titan CD

Barrence Whitfield and The Savages
Soul Flowers Of Titan CD

Barrence Whitfield is a full-throttle soul screamer in the spirit of Little Richard, Don Covay and Solomon Burke.
He has been described as the owner of one incredible pair of lungs, with limitless energy and unmatched enthusiasm for his music and his audience.
From a far out moon beyond the rings of Saturn to a dingy studio in Cincinnati, Barrence Whitfield and the Savages' new platter embraces a cosmic and
groovy unification.
Soul Flowers Of Titan is a wild, electric phantasmagoria of blues, rock, garage, and soul which blasts off into diverse orbits only to come back together into a singular Savage cosmology.
It is about people shooting guns, separating, coming home (someday), falling in love, running around, leaving this earth, going crazy, drinking coffee and thinking about Sun Ra.
Titan is the largest moon of Saturn, a planet which astrologically symbolizes pain and struggle.
Cincinnati, where the album was recorded, is home to many classic and unknown independent labels, like King and Federal, that fostered a frayed and raucous sound in the 1950s and '60s.
With such history at their fingertips, the Savages could not resist the urge to celebrate and elaborate on this legacy, to go places high and low, faraway and downhome.
Longtime followers of the Savage Sound will notice right away a heavier sound, a blast of B3 and Rheem organ, and a live-in- the- room urgency.
It is a multi-faceted vehicle for a top-notch band wigging out with beefy, staccato blues scales, punk and garage riffs, fronted by a first-order shouter well-heeled in the aesthetics of soul, R&B and rockabilly.
