The Hunter (1969)
The Hunter is a blues album from 1969 with three single releases, while the song „Bold Soul Sister“ was the b-side on two of them. Ike & Tina performed some songs live in their concerts, released on different LP's like Live In Paris from 1971. The album was reissued several times on CD, among others in 2006 on the double CD The Hunter / Outta Season and in 2018 as a mini LP replica with a cardboard sleeve in Japan.

Blue Thumb's „Outta Season“ LP brought the much-recorded duo high and heavy on the charts, and their latest, featuring „I Know,“ should outrace all competitors for the lke & Tina Turner laurels. Bob Krasnow’s strong production sets the stage for this raucous rock 'n' blues session, as Tina rips up the vocals and lke provides the rhythm. „The Hunter“ and „I Smell Trouble“ should score.
