Herman Hitson
You are too much for the human heart (Lee Moses) / got that will (Herman Hitson) (Atco 6566) - 7"
Produced by Johnny Brantley, arranged by T.Staff

The fake "Human heart" is available in two versions, titled mostly either as "Human heart", "Let me go" or "Louisville". Both of these takes are versions of "You are too much for the human heart" composed by Lee Moses and recorded on 1 march 1968. The single is very rare, and quite popular in soul collecting circles. Originally released in 1968, it was re-issued in 2000 on a Kent -label compilation cd "Sanctified Soul" (CDKEND 180).

Both "fake" takes sound quite different to the single track, but the song is clearly the same, and on one of the takes faint vocals can be heard. The vocals are extremely low, but when you compare them to the single version you are able to match bits of the lyrics. The fake "Human heart" has a much slower tempo compared to the Hitson single, so it's a different take, not the 45 take with overdubs. Also, "From this day on" features congas very similar to "Yes you did" by Hitson.

At least three singles were released by Hitson involving Johnny Brantley and / or Lee Moses:

J. LONNIE YOUNGBLOOD, THE ICEMEN, JIMMY NORMAN, BILLY LAMONT, LENNY HOWARD, GEORGE SCOTT

Most of the material released on these albums does not involve Jimi at all. The songs that do contain Hendrix performances were recorded in an unknown studio, perhaps Abtone Studios, New York, NY, in early to mid 1966, with Lonnie Youngblood (sax, vo). Other tracks feature The Icemen or Jimmy Norman on vocals; these tracks were originally released as singles under their names. Several other artists also used backing tracks from these sessions for their own later releases. The other musicians are uncertain.

Since posthumous releases usually contain mixes of tracks by these artists, they are all grouped together in these listings.

The following is a list of tracks not involving Hendrix, and probably many do not involve Youngblood either. Many of these tracks are associated with Herman Hitson (g) and Lee Moses (g). Timings vary slightly from release to release due to slightly different mastering speeds.

These can be grouped into three categories. The first consists of essentially the tracks released on "Moods"; these are characterized by a resonant guitar sound, almost a fuzz guitar. Most of these also appear to have been tampered with. See Niko's site (http://www.earlyhendrix.com) for a much more thorough coverage of all of these tracks.

All Alone / Two and One Goes (i) 2:28
Every Little Bit Hurts / Gotta Find Someone (i) 3:19
Feel That Soul (i) 2:11
From This Day On / She's So Fine (i) 2:25
Get Down / Git Down / Down Now 2:30
Girl So Fine / Let Me Go (i) 2:44
Human Heart version 1 / Let Me Go (i) 2:41
Human Heart version 2 / Louisville (i) 3:04
Miracle Worker (i) 2:51
A Mumblin' Word / Funky 2:18
So Called Friend / Backroom Lady 2:24
You Say You Love Me / Freedom and You 2:20

The second category also have a similar guitar sound; this is a straight wailing electric guitar, in many instances with slight echo added. These appear to be Herman Hitson songs, without alterations.

Bring My Baby Back / I Love My Baby 6:27
Free Spirit 5:40
Good Feeling (except for intro edit by Jimi) 4:08
Good Time(s) / Let Me Thrill Your Soul 6:00
Hey LeRoy 4:46
Hot Trigger / Not Trigger / Walking with Bessie (i) 4:01
House of the Rising Sun (i) 5:35
Let the God Sing 11:21
Something You Got 4:52
Suspicious / I Love My Baby 3:53
Voice in the Wind / Voices 5:27

The final category are miscellaneous tracks that don't seem to fit with the groups listed above. "Be My Baby" and "Edda Mae" both have substantial hum. "Find Someone" and "Night Life" have similar guitar sound.
"Gangster of Love" is parts 1 and 2 of the Jimmy Norman single (Josie 994) presented as one track.

Be My Baby 2:23
Edda Mae (i) 2:58
Everything You Get (mono) 2:32
Find Someone (i) 2:41
Gangster of Love parts 1 & 2 (mono) 1:59+2:24
Gonna Take a Lot 2:30
Night Life 6:07
You Got It (mono) 2:36
Young Generation 2:34

You’ve got to love this record for the title alone. This knock-off LP comes from England and actually surprised me. The title cut is hot all the way through, especially the opening refrain with just a horn and drums. It sounds like something De La would’ve looped up back in the day. As usual, the songs come from 1960s sessions in the U.S. when Hendrix was a sideman with the Lonnie Youngblood group. About half the songs you can find on other bootleg albums, but the rest I haven’t seen before. The budget Hendrix standards Good Times and From This Day On (mislabeled as She’s So Fine) are also worth listening to.
