Ollie Nightingale's 1978 gospel-soul classic, Sweet Surrender, sees a much needed re-release on Japanese label, P-Vine. Hailing from Memphis, Tennessee, the Ollie Nightingale project journeyed through various, fruitful iterations - from The Gospel Writer Juniors to The Dixie Nightingale's - before settling on their final form. The result? A sound that is mature and feels fully fleshed out. The opening track, 'Here I Am Again', follows a deliciously slow-paced, side-stepping rhythm, complete with subdued brass and Aretha-hued backing vocals; it's a texturally and emotionally rich classic. 'I Gave Her Everything And What She Needed' is a lyrical masterpiece reflecting on what is revealed when looking back on a past relationship, sees a more pared back take on the instrumentation front, allowing Hoskin's signature vocals to really shine. Leaning more into the funk end of the spectrum, 'It's A Sad Thing' is a track that's sure to get a room moving. Rightly recognised as the most successful southern gospel group of the 50s through to the 60s, Sweet Surrender is a crucial addition to any funk-soul-gospel fan's record collection.
