A selection of rare and unreleased tracks from the prince of Tusla boogie, Billy Bruner. 10 Killer unknown and rare boogie soul tracks.
Originally set to reissue two of his rare, sought-after singles – “The Tulsa Song” and “The Dream” – AOTN decided to raid the archives and put together Billy Bruner’s first official debut full-length album.
Combining previously released tracks (including some made as part of similarly obscure outfit T’Spoon and the gospel-leaning band The Davis Family), unheard extended versions and previously unreleased songs. The album soulful collection of synth-heavy slow jams, a perfect way to kick off the summer months.
