notes: Born in 1945, Art Jerry Miller was a Memphis musician who worked a lot for Hi, writing some hit records for Willie Michell such as Up Hard. Their one and only LP was probably recorded at the Hi studio with the group's own musicians augmented with Mar-Keys Wayne Jackson and Andrew Love. A nice instrumental album.
