no artist ridicules the absurdities of genre-fetish in american music quite like the great terry callier. a demolisher of classification and master of introspective musical self-expression, callier has lead a relatively under-the-radar existence despite being one the most talented singer / songwriters of the late 20th century, bridging the gap between american folk, blues, jazz and soul without really pledging loyalty to any of these classifications, content to let his music and its meticulously crafted lyrical narrative speak for itself. while his 1960s and 70s recordings are revered with cultish enthusiasm by his many followers today, his music received little popular acclaim at the time and passed through the cracks of obscurity until later interest resurrected them. of course, his art never went wholly neglected, as callier has continued to release full-lengths periodically up to the present. in many ways his craft has sharpened with age, as his imprint continues to be felt: the astounding roy davis jr. remix of 'love theme from spartacus' has solidified its place in the deep house cannon as one of the best examples of dance music with exceptional lyrical whit. also the version featured on this release is callier's best rendition of his 'dancing girl', recorded live not more than 10 years ago. still, he remains a half-figure in the history of 20th century music, a shadow of a ghost whose presence is always felt but whose full revealing is still yet to come.
