Ike & Tina Turner
Workin’ Together
(1971, Liberty)
Hats off to a true original. And here’s his most complete album.
The concept of recording a cohesive album – as opposed to a loose bundling of disparate tracks – was essentially anathema to Ike Turner, a man weaned in a world of 78s, 45s and endless chitlin club one-nighters with the occasional package tour thrown in. But observation of the white rock scene and touring with The Rolling Stones in the second half of the 1960s opened his eyes. On-stage the Ike & Tina Turner Revue, like his first band The Kings Of Rhythm, had relied on distinctive covers of popular hits and on Workin’ Together the storming version of Creedence’s Proud Mary is key. Readings of The Beatles’ Get Back and Let It Be (admittedly neither as good as the Turners’ take on Come Together) and Jessie Hill’s Ooh Poo Pah Doo, plus originals like the title track and Funkier Than A Mosquito’s Tweeter, and soul stand-out (Long As I Can) Get You When I Want You really do work together.

This is the only Ike & Tina Album I own, and I love it. "Long Time" is a great song.
