Background notes
Archive material and source history
Terry Callier started putting out records in the mid-1960s. His first album, 'The New Folk Sound of Terry Callier' from 1964, mixed folk and blues with a jazz feel. He worked with guitarist Larry Coryell on some of those early sessions.
In the early 1970s, he made a couple of albums that became his best-known work. 'Occasional Rain' came out in 1972, followed by 'What Color Is Love' in 1973. Songs like 'Ordinary Joe' and 'You're Goin' Miss Your Candyman' come from this period. His singing had a warm, reflective quality that didn't quite fit the commercial soul charts of the time.
He kept recording through the decade, putting out 'I Just Can't Help Myself' in 1975 and 'Turn You to Love' in 1979. After a long break, he returned with 'Lifetime' in 1998. That record brought some renewed attention to his earlier material.
