This is easily the best of these Country Soul comps that I've heard yet. For one thing, most of these songs are actually played as country songs, something you certainly couldn't say about the second 'Dirty Laundry' for example.
I REALLY, really want to hate that this opens with Aaron singing 'The Grand Tour' .....really... only problem is that he kills it and it fits. Magnificent statements by Big Sol, Percy and Esther follow and this thing is off to a fantastic start! A little stumble with track 5 to MY tastes, but they quickly recover with perfect tracks from Ann Peebles and Bobby Sheen. Tami Lynn delivers the kind of rendition of 'Wings Upon Your Horns' that would silence even a noisy Saturday bar room. Look down the list, these are familiar names around here, no duds, the songs are well chosen and enjoyably sequenced. This is a compilation that I will return to!
Three cheers and a 'hell yeah you right' for compiler Tony Rounce!

Playing now and really enjoying some classy soul singing that other music ! Good compilation agreed KC
Cheers
Nice one. Slightly reminiscent of the Red, White & Country series that was released a few years back that had a killer version of How Time Slips Away by Al Green and Lyle Lovett. But, this album is way better. Thanks for the share.
I just found your blog through a link on Willards Womholes. The music is just my kind of music. And lots of it. Thanks a lot!!

What a great comp. Thanks KC. Tami Lynn is a killer. Her LP 'Love Is Here and Now You're Gone' is worth checking out. Wings Upon Your Horns is part of a monologue side, you know, Millie Jackson style but tasteful. (Talking rubbish again, Caught Up is a great album)
many thanks, KC, for this jolly good compil.
