Aretha in Paris

CD-Charts > Music > Southern Soul
by: Aretha Franklin

Release Date December 19, 1994
I love all of Aretha's music, yet I am particular to her more energetic tunes, which is why I bought this live album. Well, my expectations were most certainly fulfilled: Aretha In Paris is chock-full of songs that'll make me jump up from wherever I am and start dancing whenever I play them. My favourites are the opening track, "Baby, I love you", "Since you've been gone" and, of course, "Respect". The best of the lot, however, is the orgiastic "Come Back Baby", which just has to heard to be believed. Another one of my favourites is the beautiful rendition of Willie Nelson's "Night Life", a lacerating yet unapologetic account of a life gone astray. Aretha's unmatched ability to act out her songs is well displayed in "Dr. Feelgood" (a song which ... Read More:

Sanctified Soul

CD-Charts > Music > Southern Soul
by: Various Artists

Release Date February 28, 2000
This really is soul at its best, and should have been the 4th volume of Dave Godin's Deep Soul Treasures. Many of the tracks are wilfully obscure-despite years of ardent reseach I had never heard of Lee Jackson, Walter Rhodes or Rudy Mockabee. Others tracks feature better known artists on lesser known tracks - the wonderful, criminally underrated Soul Brothers 6, the sweet and sensual Judy Clay, the anguished and torured Sam Dees, the wild wicked Wilson Pickett, and, most poignant of them all, the sad and wasted James Carr. There are beautifulcovers of acknowledged classics - Jackie Moore on Percy Sledge, Judy Clay on Lee Dorsey - and soulful takes on lesser genres - JP Robinson's outraged tribute to the executed George Jackson brings passion and pain ...

Melting Pot

CD-Charts > Music > Southern Soul
by: Booker T & The Mg's

Release Date
This was the last album by the classic lineup of Booker T and the MG's: Booker T. Jones, Steve Cropper, Donald "Duck" Dunn and Al Jackson. The merely curious might be expecting that the band chiefly famous for 'Green Onions' and for the music to the BBC's cricket coverage would be one-hit wonders, who can't sustain interest over the course of a whole album. After all, what we are talking about here are instrumental tracks by the Stax Records house band, a combo that specialised in backing singers like Otis Redding and Wilson Pickett. In fact, the band is a lot better than merely listenable. Walk down the street with this on your earphones and you can feel like the star of your own personal blaxploitation movie.

There isn't a bad track on ... Read More:
