Before Jimmy Nolen became known as James Brown's first choice guitar man, playing with the Godfather on almost all of his key 1960s hits, he had already gained a strong reputation as a talented and versatile session player in LA through the 50s, featuring regularly in the line-ups of bandleaders and record producers such as Chuck Higgins and Johnny Otis. Nolen also cut a small clutch of singles for Federal, none of which did much business at the time.
Of these, 'The Way You Do' is our choice and the A-side of this limited reissue. A classy, popcorn styled mid-tempo R&B with a tasty delayed rhythm, cool vocals and Nolen's trademark scratchy guitar. The B-side features yet another vinyl debut from us here at Jukebox Jam - the killer instrumental 'Jimmy's Jive', a track which was recorded for Johnny Otis' Dig label but never originally released. With it's rocking stop-start rhumba rhythm and catchy recurring riff, this is one which we've personally wished was available on vinyl for some time - and now it is!
