The ramshackle cover art for this\n1972 album makes it look like a bootleg, and the\nrampant misspellings and inconsistencies in the\nalbum and song titles make it clear that whoever\nwas in charge of proofreading at the Back Beat\nlabel must have taken the day off when the art\nwas circulated. But no matter…seldom has the\nsecular met the sacred with as much emotional\nforce as on O.V. Wright’s A Nickel and a Nail and\nAce of Spades. That’s what makes it one of the\ngreatest Southern soul records ever waxed.\nMind you, just about any record produced\nby Willie Mitchell and featuring the Hi Records Rhythm Section and the\nMemphis Horns will pack a punch. But it’s the raw emotion of Wright’s vocal delivery, the\ngospel styling stirred in with the pure, pleading anguish, that pushes this collection of songs\nover the top to sheer transcendence. Record buyers noticed, too; “A Nickel and a Nail,” “Ace\nof Spades,” and “Eight Men, Four Women,” three of the biggest hits O.V. Wright ever had,\nwere all on this album. But really, the whole thing is a tour de force, which we’re reissuing on\n180-gram black vinyl to preserve its brilliance for posterity.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Recordstore","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49974467297522,"sku":"RLGM12721PMI","price":9.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0850\/1621\/5794\/files\/SharedImage-121719.png?v=1787626770","url":"https:\/\/recordstero.shop\/products\/a-nickel-and-a-nail-and-ace-of-spades-180gm-vinyl-lp","provider":"recordstero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
