Description Hide Show The great lost Little Richard album, finally Issued as Richard Intended Including Original Cover Art. Following 1971s King Of Rock And Roll, Little Richard did something no one would have expectedhe allowed his up-til-then, unrecognized country-rock leaning to emerge. Further, unlike its predecessor, all 14 songs on Southern Child were written or co-written by Richard. While there is the funk, rock and soul one would expect from Richard during this period, Southern Child was a predominantly country-rock affair. And while Little Richard had proven he could master any genre, the label decided to shelve “Southern Child”, leaving it unissued until the tracks appeared on a long out of print label retrospective in 2005. Recorded in the Spring of 1972 in Los Angeles, “Southern Child” was recorded, mixed, mastered and handed into the label. It was given a catalog number and cover art was designed, but Reprise opted instead to release The Second Coming in its place. Both albums were recorded with Bumps Blackwell in the producer chair, at around the same time, but the reasons Southern Child was left behind are lost to time. Perhaps the label felt Little Richards audience wouldnt follow him into unfamiliar musical territory regardless of their artists desire to explore. Buy your copy today!
