Lori Burton – Breakout

I bought that CD only after reading an article. Well, the article was by Nicolas Ungemuth who has a real talent to share his devotion towards talented 60’s female singers, especially if they sound a little like Dusty Springfield.

 

Lori Burton doesn’t sound much like Dusty but she is indeed talented. She has a powerful voice and the songs that she wrote are what the tradition to call great “stompers”. “Gotta make you love me baby” or “There is no way (to stop lovin’ you)” will get you to dance around frantically and there is nothing you will be able to do about it.

 

Interesting enough, the CD includes a single that has nothing to do with these recording sessions: “Nightmare” by the Whyte Boots. When girl groups were one of the major sounds around and death songs were fashionable, Lori and her writing partner, Pam Sawyer, penned this creepy tale of death which is still one of the greatest death songs around, along with “Terry” and of course “The Leader of the pack”.
