Drew Schultz - Back to Class, Vol. 1 (Deluxe Edition) (2023)

‘Back To Class, Volume 1 Deluxe Edition’ – a logical follow up to the first volume that was released over a decade ago, with an additional six tracks which are all alternate versions of five of the album tracks. You might know that the sometime drummer for the 4 Tops put the album together with a welter of veteran soul (mainly from Detroit) stalwarts like Dennis Coffey, Spyder Turner, Melvin Davis and Pat Lewis. The first volume features some legends of Detroit soul including Four Tops, Spyder Turner, Melvin Davis The Funk Brothers, Pat Lewis, Dennis Coffey, Chairmen Of The Board, McKinley Jackson as well as some new artists. This one’s a tight, brassy, funky groove with vocals from the aforementioned Spyder Turner who delivers with the authority that can only come with experience.

Drew is a soul music lover, drummer, percussionist, songwriter, and producer and drummer for The Four Tops since he was 19. He has performed with The Temptations, Aretha Franklin, Martha Reeves, The Miracles, Dramatics, Contours, Chairmen of the Board, Harold Melvin's Bluenotes, George Clinton, Dennis Coffey, Freda Payne, Melvin Davis, Spyder Turner, and many more.
