Night Walker: Jack Nitzsche Story 3 / Various

2014 collection, the third in a series of compilations devoted to Jack Nietzsche's production work. This third volume more than upholds the standards set by the first two. All students of American popular music will welcome NIGHT WALKER. It includes important tracks by artists with whom Jack was closely associated over a long period of time, such as Jackie DeShannon and Neil Young, as well as a host of obscure and semi-obscure delights from lesser known's that Jack worked with only once or twice - many of which have never appeared on CD before. For the first time in this series we have been able to incorporate examples of Jack's work with Phil Spector, including key songs from the Ronettes, Crystals and Darlene Love. Several other tracks that were not available for previous volumes, such as Buffalo Springfield's 'Expecting to Fly', also debut here. All facets of Jack's talent are amply represented by a collection that literally spans his entire career, from his first session (Preston Epps) to his last (C.C. Adcock). He is himself featured as a vocalist, a conductor/arranger and a film score composer.
