Marvin Preyer

Marvin Preyer recorded at Larry Rogers’ Lyn-Lou studios in Memphis and all the discs that were released as a result have long been help in the highest regard by deep soul fans. “What Can I Call My Own” first appeared on the tiny Younger label, and it’s stark simplicity never fails to hit home. Timeless.

If that 45 was good, “Don’t Stop Loving Me This Time” was even better, featuring some superbly subtle Memphis guitar fills and a classic horn section. All these tracks were leased to Wand as part of a deal that also included a couple of releases by co-producer, sax session man Joe Arnold. The previously unissued “You Don’t Have To Be Crazy To Love Her” is another country soul gem. I don’t think you could have too much of Preyer’s crying vocals.
