One of them was First Impressions, which focuses on the pre-Westbound sessions that Johnny Brantley produced for the Players in New York in 1968. These selections are quite different from their Westbound and Mercury output of the 1970s; in 1968, the Players' forte was raw, gritty, southern-style soul along the lines of Sam \u0026amp; Dave, Wilson Pickett, Otis Redding, and Rufus Thomas.
