Thomas McClary – Thomas McClary
LP, Album | Motown | US | 1984
A rare and underappreciated solo debut from one of the founding members and lead guitarist of The Commodores. Released on Motown in 1984, Thomas McClary is a polished, soulful R&B record that showcases McClary's guitar work and songwriting in a lush, orchestrated setting. Produced, arranged, and performed by McClary himself, with strings arranged by Gene Page and a stellar session cast including John Robinson on drums, Paul Jackson Jr. on guitar, Paulinho Da Costa on percussion, Dorothy Ashby on harp, and Clarence McDonald on Fender Rhodes. Engineered and mixed by Steve Pouliot. Cover is punched. Clean copy with light age and storage wear. Visual grading only; not play tested.
Condition
- Media: Very Good Plus (VG+) — plays cleanly with minimal surface noise
