About this item

A real soul gem from 1970 on the James Brown affiliated Deluxe label, the first and only album by this mysterious singer: Marie Queenie Lyons.

The songs are a combination of funky covers, some of which she’d been doing in her live shows, like ‘Fever’ and ‘Try Me,’ and originals co-written by pianist Don Pullen, who was the bandleader on the session.

Our reissue features an alternative cover photo and includes a booklet with rare photos, extensive liner notes by Andrew “Monk-One” Mason and the first ever interview with Queenie herself!
