Willie Mitchell Robbin's Nest

A prominent bandleader, hit instrumental recording artist and prolific producer, Willie Mitchell is credited with creating the now legendary "Hi Sound," its legacy of hit records, and discovering and directing the creative careers of Hi's incredible artist roster which included Al Green, Ann Peebles, Otis Clay and Syl Johnson. Mitchell's mix of jazz sophistication and down-home Southern blues - not to mention his ambition and work ethic - set him apart, and he and his streamlined, stripped-down big band were in demand by black and white audiences alike. Mitchell kicked off the '70s with Robbin's Nest, another accomplished set of soul-infused funk highlighted by rock solid cuts like "Tails Out" and "Wade in the Water." The album is appearing on vinyl for the first time since its original 1970 release, remastered with updated artwork.
