Sweet Rhode Island Red is a studio album by Ike & Tina Turner released on United Artist Records in 1974.[3] The album was created exclusively for the international market.[4] It was available in the US through the Columbia Record Club.[5][dubious – discuss] The album charted at No. 41 in Australia.[6]
Recording and content
Sweet Rhode Island Red was recorded at the Ike & Tina Turner`s Bolic Sound studio. A majority of the songs from the album were written by Tina Turner, including the title track which was released as a single in February 1974. "Sweet Rhode Island Red" peaked at No. 43 on the Billboard R&B chart, No. 43 in Germany, No. 17 in Italy and No. 51 on the UK Singles Chart.[7][8]
The follow-up single "Sexy Ida" was released in two versions: the funk rhythmic A-side, "Sexy Ida (Part 1)", and the up-temp B-side, "Sexy Ida (Part 2)". "Sexy Ida (Part 1)" reached No. 29 on Billboard R&B chart and No. 65 on the Billboard Hot 100.[9] In Europe it peaked at No. 51 on the UK Singles Chart and No. 35 in Italy.[10] "Sexy Ida (Part 2)" features rock musician Marc Bolan on guitar.[11] It peaked at No. 85 on the Hot 100 and No. 9 on the R&B chart.[12] Both songs were included on the album in the Netherlands, Germany and Italy.[13][14][15]
Critical reception
Sidney Nelson wrote for the Evening Post (November 8, 1974):
"Sweet Rhode Island Red" finds Ike and Tina Turner producing their high-octane rock-blues-soul combination with Tina breaking into her famous scream at regular, spine-chilling intervals. Strangely, however, it is when she purrs her way through Stevie Wonder`s "Living for the City," holding the power back that she really scores on this album. The opener "Let Me Be There" is fine but for the rest, even Tina`s dynamic delivery cannot raise mediocre material.[16]
Reissues
Sweet Rhode Island Red was digitally remastered and released by BGO Records in 2012 on the compilation CD Sweet Rhode Island Red/The Gospel According To Ike & Tina.[17]
