Eddie Taylor - Just The Way You Are / The State Song (Digital 45)

Not to be confused with the blues guitarist that accompanied Jimmy Reed on his classic Chicago recordings, the Eddie Taylor featured here was a diminutive soul singer who also went by the namd Little Eddie Taylor. A great soul vocalist with a killer falsetto, Taylor sadly made very few recordings. The rare single featured here was recorded in 1964 for the South Florida-based Tropical Records label - as a matter of fact, it's the first ever release for the label. "Just The Way You Are" b/w "The State Song" is presented here newly remastered for this exclusive release.
