“Come By Here” by Inez and Charlie Foxx - album review

features in: Album Chart of 1967 ● Album Chart of the Decade: 1960s

Second album proper from the sibling duo of 22-year-old Inez on lead vocals, and her big brother Charlie on backing vocals and guitar. Production duties were handled by Inez’s husband, Luther Dixon. Inez is the star with her nicely poised vocal – highly soulful and emotive without resorting to the cheesy. They do like a bit of drama mind you – it was a highlight of their concert performances of the time when Inez would render a pleading rendition of “I Stand Accused” which finished with a supposedly distraught Inez singing the last verse, while being carried offstage by Charlie. Straight from the school of JB stage presence! The band are highly skilled in the art of southern soul, and are equally adept at driving the dancefloor rhythm as they are at empathising with the emotive ballad. This whole package gets the thumbs up from me…
