Thrift Store Finds

This album is really fantastic.
After i picked this up and listened to it i wanted to know everything i could about Esther Phillips. She was praised by many artists including Aretha Franklin, Kenny Rgers, and The Beatles, she even did the favorite Beatles cover of John and Paul when she covered "And I Love Him (Her)". She constantly struggled with drug and alcohol addiction and she died to soon at age 48 from liver and kidney failure.
My favorite song off the album "Scarred Knees" has a sweet "humm" with a squeak every once in a while.... you'll see.
