Mono EditionA prominent bandleader, hit instrumental recording artist and prolific producer, Willie Mitchell is credited with creating the now legendary Hi Sound, its legacy of hit records, and discovering and directing the creative careers of His incredible artist roster which included Al Green, Ann Peebles, Otis Clay and Syl Johnson. Mitchells mix of jazz sophistication and down-home Southern blues not to mention his ambition and work ethic set him apart, and he and his streamlined, stripped-down big band were in demand by black and white audiences alike.1966s Willie Mitchells Driving Beat is one of his finest solo efforts, a funky and soulful affair that finds the Hi master working outside of the usual pop framework with killer results. Home to dancefloor dynamite like Everythings Is Gonna Be Alright and That Driving Beat, the album is appearing on mono vinyl for the first time since its original release, remastered with updated artwork.
