● Lattimore Brown　"Little Box Of Tricks" [AIM　1507] -2006
以前この時代の楽曲が CD 化されたことはあるが， ↑ に比べると－１＋５曲。
－１はおそらく 4. と同じテイクのモノ・バージョンなので，これから初めて Lattimore Brown を聴くという人には，圧倒的にコチラの CD をオススメしたい。

＋５は，『楽ソウル』 pp.20-21 で紹介されていた，Renegate 時代のシングル曲と，なぜか AIM の CD には収録されていなかった Arthur Alexander の "Every Day I Have To Cry Some" 。

ライナー(John Ridley, Red Kelly) も充実していて，録音場所やミュージシャン，再発見の際のエピソードなど，おもしろい話が満載なので，AIM の CD を持っている人にもオススメ。
He[Lattimore Brown] remembers listening to the King Biscuit Hour and the Grand Ole Opry on the radio and singing gospel in a local church group....
ラジオで Blues と Country を聴き，教会で Gospel を歌うというのは，当時の R&B/Soul singer に共通の経験だったようだ。

これで，この Lattimore Brown の作品も，ほとんどが CD で手軽に楽しめるようになった。
