‘Love Is A Hurtin’ Thing’ gathers together Gloria Ann Taylor’s output on the Selector Sound label that she issued between 1971-1977. Haunting, sparse and at times deeply dark the title track ‘Love Is A Hurtin’ Thing’ blends grandiose orchestration with a basement production that only magnifies the depth of feeling. Fuzzy psych guitars meld with gospel roots, proto disco with northern soul that sees a shift through the musical styles of the age. ‘Deep Inside of You’ is a smoky stomper, ‘What’s Your World’ is totally ‘out there’ blending exoticism with loner-soul, ‘Had It All The Time’ is a gorgeous bittersweet slab of crossover while ‘Music’ is a live a recording as you’d want. The three tracks from the rare 12” Ep are also included. Brilliant and unique stuff!
