Fly Me To The Moon

The album debut from songwriter, guitarist and singer Bobby Womack, produced by Memphis’ legendary Chips Moman, was mostly written by the singer and features plenty of driving, gutbucket Southern soul with occasional restrained orchestration and deft guitar work from Womack. Aside from his originals — Womack was a talented and in-demand songwriter who’d written many of Wilson Pickett’s hits — Womack was a talented reinterpreter of others’ material and his cover of ‘California Dreaming’ here is sublime.
