Little Richard’s 1970 comeback album The Rill Thing marked a bold new chapter for the rock ’n’ roll pioneer. Recorded in Muscle Shoals with longtime collaborator Bumps Blackwell, it featured hits like “Freedom Blues” and “Greenwood Mississippi,” plus a 10-minute funk jam title track and covers of The Beatles and Hank Williams.
Remastered and reissued on opaque pink vinyl, the album showcases Richard’s vocal peak and fearless reinvention. Includes liner notes by Bill Dahl and mastering by Grammy®-winner Michael Graves.
