Ralph Weeks & The Means of Production - Nobody Loves Me (Like You Do)

♫ > A1. Nobody Loves Me (Like You Do)
♫ > B1. Got To Keep On Trying

Names You Can Trust continues its years-long revival work with one of Panama’s most gifted and legendary soul artists, Ralph Weeks, returning the singer to the studio for another brand new recording that highlights the now 80-year old’s still silky vocals and masterful songwriting. Up for the challenge with their own studio savoir-faire is a most fitting and genuine purveyor of modern day soul themselves, Ben Pirani and The Means of Production, whose output on Palmetto Street Recording and Colemine Records has already achieved high praise and collectible status in just a few years. The mission, record two unreleased home studio demos that were penned and tracked in the early 1980’s and recently excavated from Ralph’s extensive archive of personal songs. These original compositions were faithfully given the full treatment and arrangement they never received, but always deserved. The A-Side, “Nobody Loves Me (Like You Do)”, a quintessential Ralph testimonial of love, now shines alive and energized against the backdrop of a funky Latin soul dancer. The B-Side, “Got To Keep On Trying” is one of Ralph’s many unpublished monster ballads, a deep and heartfelt tear jerker reminiscent of his classic hits from yesteryear. Now, forty plus years later, both songs can finally be released into the world, and ultimately serve as another testament to Ralph’s prolific yet private musical career and legacy.
