Moving along into the last few days of this year’s Advent-ure (already!) and it will be early 70s records all the way – and they all have red labels too! It’s just the way it’s turned out.
Put “Dale Dennard singer” into a Google search and the AI response is that Dale is male, and that is because the only search hit which says anything about this record, other than the bare facts on the label, says so.
As you will hear for yourself, Dale is female.
This is one obscure singer, and label. This is the only record released by Dale Dennard, and the New York based Coach label itself only has two, possibly three, known releases. I wonder if its is actually related to Gene Redd’s Redd / Red Coach label, it shares the same coach graphic as early Redd Coach releases, and in time sits neatly in between when the label name dropped the second 'd'. I can’t find anything that confirms this though.
The sound of this one is sinuous, sultry and sleazy.
