One Night At Morey’s 1968 With Autographed CD Booklet

From his early work with 50s/60s hit makers The Royaltones (who also backed other artists like Del Shannon)to his run through the Motor Citys independent labels as a session aceto his pioneering and legendary work with The Funk Brothers, backing band to massive Motown hits like Just My Imagination, Ball Of Confusion (Thats What The World Is Today), War, Cloud Nine, Someday Well Be Together and Band Of Gold among many othersDennis Coffey is a guitar legend.

The 70s didnt slow him down for one second as he struck out on his own and had a million selling hit with Scorpio, in 1971. He continued his studio session work (notably appearing on Boogie Fever by The Sylvers), scored films and produced other artists albums like Gallerys Nice To Be With You and Rodriguez Cold Fact.

The 2000s have found Dennis appearing on the big screen including the 2002 film Standing In The Shadows Of Motown and the 2012s Searching For Sugarman. And to this very day you can find him playing every Tuesday night in Detroit.

One Night At Moreys: 1968 is drawn from the residency at Morey Bakers Showplace Lounge in Detroit by the Lyman Woodard Trio. The trio consisted of Coffey on guitar, brilliant organist, Lyman Woodard, and drummer Melvin Davis, and could be found at Moreys once a week. They played to a dedicated, often repeat, audience so the band kept the repertoire fresh and changing. One Night At Moreys: 1968 follows last years Hot Coffey In The D: Burnin At Morey Bakers Showplace Lounge released by Resonance Records, also drawn from the Moreys residency, but with an entirely different track list.

All tracks on One Night At Moreys: 1968 are previously unissued and come directly from the vaults of Dennis Coffey and producer partner, Mike Theodore. Tracks include original compositions, Big City Lights, Mindbender, and Union Station, as well as surprising and funky covers of Billies Bounce by Charlie Parker, Burning Spear by The Soul Strings, Cissy Strut by The Meters, Eleanor Rigby by The Beatles, Groovin by The YoungRascals, and Im A Midnight Mover by Wilson Pickett from the pen of both Pickett and Bobby Womack.
