DICKY OLIVER

The rare ‘Dicky Oliver’ album was released on RCA Italy in 1969. Of the artist, little is known. It’s a super funky LP loaded with furious Hammond and great horn sections. Among the tracks are three JB covers: “The Chicken” is a floor-killer, fueled by a powerful groove; “Let Yourself Go” and “Papa's Got A Brand New Bag” also appear. Covers of Hugh Masekela (“Grazing In The Grass”), Jimmy McGriff, Cannonball Adderley and two original tracks written by Richard “Dicky” Oliver complete the tracklist.
