This CD contains all non-album single tracks plus previously unreleased outtakes. The album was compiled with co-operation from Louie Ortega himself. Comprehensive liner notes, luxury Digipak lavishly illustrated with previously unpublished photos. Produced by Doug Sahm (plus Jerry Wexler, Tom Dowd, Glen Kolotkin) - A tex-mex\/chicano-rock masterpiece! In 1970, Louie and The Lovers released the album 'Rise'. It didn't sell at the time, but has been treasured among music lovers ever since. Produced by legendary Texan roots rocker Doug Sahm, the young band (every member was yet to turn twenty) came across like a Salinas Valley Boy version of Creedence Clearwater Revival infused with a pinch of tex-mex Big Star. Album opener 'Rise' is blistering power-pop dressed up in heavenly vocal harmonies and guitar hooks galore while I've Always Got You On My Mind and I Just Met You are soulful ballads, endlessly and timelessly beautiful. Royal Oakie is rough, lose happy-go-lucky roots rock. Why the 45rpm single Driver Go Slow didn't chart is now hard to understand. No wonder Peter Buck (of R. E. M. -fame) is a huge fan of Louie and The Lovers. This CD expands the original 'Rise' with non-album single tracks, session outtakes and most sensational; an entire, previously unreleased second Louie and The Lovers album! This Bear Family anthology was produced with assistance from our main man himself. In the comprehensive CD-booklet Louie Ortega reveals the full story of his band. Deep inside the singer's private wardrobe we detected scrap book pictures documenting Louie and The Lovers in full force during a recording session\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRise\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e I've Always Got You on My Mind\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Sittin' By Your River\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Driver Go Slow\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e I Know You Know\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Royal Oakie\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e I Don't Want to Be Seen with You\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e I Just Met You\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Rock Me Baby\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e If the Night\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e It's the Morning\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Four-Time Loser\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Little Georgie Baker\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Tomorrow Just Might Change\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Out of Jail (Steve's Tune)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e My Belief in You\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Caribbean\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e We Don't Have to Change\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Spread Some Love Around\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Forgive Me This Time\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Ya No Ilores\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Please Wake Up\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Down Around Salinas\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e La Paloma\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e If You Ever Say You Love Me\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e El Paso\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Never Be a Saint\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e","brand":"Alliance Entertainment","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50522240975122,"sku":"4000127163943","price":16.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/louie-the-lovers-the-complete-recordings-cd","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
