Title:	I've Got A Feelin'/Ocean Of Tears
Label:	FRYERS (UK)
Format:	7"
Price:	$8.00
Catalog #:	FRY 009EP

A well-placed RnB reissue which cheekily pairs two of the gems from Big Maybelle's '50s recordings for the Okeh label. "I've Got A Feelin'" has proven rather difficult to track down, especially on its 45rpm format. With congas, swinging horn patterns and Maybelle's dread-drenched vocals, this is one of those tracks that cuts through genres. "Ocean Of Tears" is a true rhythm and blues masterpiece. A deep gospel feel is offset by a swinging rhythm, while Maybelle's gut-wrenching vocal is the blues encapsulated.
