HOT
SAUCE
FEATURING RHONDA WASHINGTON
(July
2, 2012 )
Good Woman Turning Bad / I Can't Let You Go / Bring It Home (And Give It To Me) / What DoYou See In Her? / Love Strike / Stop Dogging Me / I'll Kill A Brick (About My Man) / Mama's Baby (Daddy's Maybe) / Funny / I Can't Win For Losing / Echoes From The Past.
The complete recordings of Detroit-based, Memphis-recorded act Hot Sauce, who came to Stax in 1971 and sadly released the last-ever single on Volt in 1975. Hot Sauce only had two modest R&B chart hits thanks to the soulful singing of Chuck Berry's niece Rhonda Washington. The tracks were recorded at Willie Michell's Royal and sweetened in Detroit. Hot Sauce was scheduled to have an album released in 1974 but the project was cancelled as Stax slid into bankruptcy. Using the original production master, Ace have resurrected the planned album's running order and augmented it with various single-only sides to present the small but mighty catalogue of Hot Sauce on CD for the first time.
