Little did Wanda Davis know when she cut her version of “Save Me” for a single on Project Soul Records in 1971, that her first (and unfortunately only) release would go on to become one of the most sought-after records in the history of American Soul, fetching well over $1000 from collectors worldwide. Now, 40+ years later, Wanda returns to wax with the spooky “Where Did You Sleep Last Night?” (a 100+ year old murder ballad made famous by Leadbelly). Backed by the always rock steady grooves of the Secret Stash house band (aka, The Lakers), it’s immediately clear Ms. Davis’ vocals haven’t lost any of their power in the ensuing decades - if anything, she’s upped the soulful sultry quotient tenfold! |
