The Beatles covered &#8220;Anna (Go to Him)&#8221; early in their career, and performed his hit &#8220;Soldier of Love&#8221; on their BBC radio show. The Rolling Stones and Ry Cooder have also covered his songs, which are often described as &#8220;country-soul.&#8221; Alexander&#8217;s last album &#8212; 1993&#8217;s <i>Lonely Just Like Me<\/i> &#8212; is regarded as one of his best. This new re-release includes all of the original album, plus an intimate performance on NPR&#8217;s <i>Fresh Air<\/i>, some solo demos and a live cut. It&#8217;s a highly entertaining parting shot from this underappreciated and underrated artist.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I first heard the name Arthur Alexander many years ago when listening to an interview with John Lennon; the then-former Beatles was talking about his major influences, especially some of [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_exactmetrics_skip_tracking":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[60,64,65,69],"tags":[2538],"class_list":["post-9383","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-rb","category-reissue","category-review","category-soul","tag-arthur-alexander","cat-60-id","cat-64-id","cat-65-id","cat-69-id"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.musoscribe.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9383","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.musoscribe.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.musoscribe.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.musoscribe.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.musoscribe.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=9383"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/blog.musoscribe.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9383\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":9384,"href":"https:\/\/blog.musoscribe.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9383\/revisions\/9384"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.musoscribe.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=9383"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.musoscribe.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=9383"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.musoscribe.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=9383"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
