"Lovin' Mighty Fire" is Howard Williams' third Japanese music compilation for the Ace Records house of labels - this time, for BGP International. Assembled in between his job as a record distributor and his monthly Japan Blues show for NTS radio, the first two have taken a look at the late 50s for a blast of Japanese rockabilly ("Nippon Rock'n'Roll" BBT 313), then the 60s and 70s for a romp in Japanese surf music ("Nippon Guitars" BBT 297). Following his retrospective of jazz singer Maki Asakawa for Honest Jon's, this new outing searches for the soul music of Japan, from the early 70s to the early 80s.
