Deep Shadows

"Little" Ann Bridgeforth left this plane in 2003, several years before the song that would become her most revered, found it's audience. "Deep Shadows" is a soul boulder of epic proportions, a stark depiction of longing and claustrophobic isolation if there ever was one. The song was recorded along with a bunch of other soul gems by Dave Hamilton and Darrell Goolsby in late 1960s Detroit just to be buried unreleased in a box for decades to come. It wasn't until 1998, when Ace released it for the first time on CD and it's reputation has grown exponentially since, the tune's snappy drums, vibes and wailing vocals getting sampled for example by Madlib, Grand Puba, Loyle Carner and dozens of other beat heads. Back in 2009, Timmion compiled all of Ann's canned output on an album and now releases the song on a 7" backed with a new version "Deeper Shadows". The treatment flips Ann's vocals to hit a different beat from the original, pasting them over an unreleased backing track from UK session group The Third Degree. Miraculously, this potion works delivering a fresh interpretation of Ann's masterpiece. The two vastly different renditions of deep soul heaven are now available on vinyl for you to spin.
