In the 60s and 70s, Nashville was a hothouse of R&B, Soul and Jazz and Bob Holmes was a central character
With the publication of E. Mark Windle's book House Of Broken Hearts about the 60s soul of Nashville, that city's black music is being studied in detail for the first time.
Kent have coordinated a Nashville Soul CD release with the book, concentrating on the work of multi-talented producer/arranger/songwriter Bob Holmes from the 1965 to 1980 time span. Considering the number of tracks he was involved with on this CD, Holmes can be described as Nashville's premier soul provider.
"Nashville is the capital of country music but the city also supports (and always has) a thriving soul scene. Nashville's soul legacy has been explored several times by Ace/Kent and they continue here with a 24 tracker that focuses on one particular aspect of the Nashville soul story... the work of Bob Holmes.
Bob Holmes left a wonderful, proper soul legacy. Enjoy the best of it here." 4/5 - Soul and Jazz and Funk
