Freddie McKay - Giving You Try Girl / Red Eye Girl album flac

Freddy McKay later went on to fame, if not fortune, at Studio 1 but this early recording is a much less sophisticated affair, with a back to basics roots rhythm which perfectly suits the song, and with the backing vocals sounding very reminiscent of the Freedom Singers’ Studio 1 rarity ’Pyaka’. ‘Red Eye Gal’ was released on the other side of Freddy’s ‘Giving You A Try Girl’ which appears later in this collection. Both sides were issued back to back on the Blue Beat label, but labelled copies are rare, to say the least!
