From start to finish this is great, great soul music. Includes neglected cuts from Willie Singleton, Mack Rice and Freddie Waters, which have been hidden away as B-sides or on expensive box-sets.
Stax may not have been exclusively releasing Southern music by 1968 any more, but it was still a Southern label. Most of the acts were came from the local area, and as the biggest label outside R&B's traditional Northern strongholds, it was a magnet for anyone from the region who hoped to get a record deal.
This compilation features neglected cuts from Willie Singleton, Mack Rice and Freddie Waters, which have been hidden away as B-sides or on expensive box-sets. Ace also discovered some previously unreleased gems from the previously unknown Sylvia and the Blue Jays, and from Bettye Crutcher and Chuck Brooks. It is also great to be able to focus on some better-known tracks by the Soul Children and Ollie & The Nightingales and bring them together with the other tracks featured here. From start to finish this is great, great soul music.
