Roger & The Ridley Sisters

It isn’t just because of my affinity with the names of the artists that I go for “Morning Noon I Cry”. There’s the meandering solo trumpet, and the mournful chord structure for example. There’s also some fine harmony vocals from the Sisters but the main delight is writer Roger Ridley’s superbly heartfelt lead. He is passionate and gritty, and when he cuts loose after a preaching rap he really shows his class. The label doesn’t give a clue as to the record’s origins but the time of the recording must be the 60s. The other certainty is that the group came from the church – anybody any idea where in the US?
