Maxayn - Reloaded: The Complete Recordings 1972-1974

To 60s and 70s Soul aficionados, Maxayn Lewis should need little introduction. As a tremendous session vocalist, her name appears on the credits of innumerable records from the 1960s onwards. �In the late 1960s, she was recruited to join The Ikettes for an Ike and Tina Turner world tour. �In the early 1970s, she and her husband formed Maxayn � a funk/rock/soul quartet with psychedelic leanings. The three albums Maxayn made for Capricorn Records remain popular to this day, but have never been issued on CD or download � until now! �For the first time, Reloaded presents the three albums which Maxayn recorded for Capricorn Records � Maxayn, Mindful and Bail Out For Fun! The package includes faithful reproductions of the original artwork for each album, with a substantial booklet boasting a 5,000-word sleeve-note and lots of rare photographs. �Maxayn�s eponymous debut boasted two impressive funk-rock Rolling Stones covers (�Gimme Shelter�, �You Can�t Always Get What You Want�) alongside some superb band originals. �Mindful was perhaps funkier than its predecessor, including a reworking of Curtis Mayfield�s �Check Out Your Mind�. �
