The Very Best of William Bell

The Very Best of William Bell (2007) more music like this

by William Bell

William Bell is probably the most woefully underappreciated artist in the Stax Records stable. Primarily a ballad singer, Bell avoided the charismatic stage histrionics of singers like Otis Redding and Wilson Pickett in favor of a more subtle and melodic approach. He was also a gifted songwriter, penning in conjunction with his writing partner ...

Heart and Soul

Heart and Soul (2002) more music like this

by Dusty Springfield

Is this a valuable release for Dusty Springfield completists? Certainly; none of the 18 songs are too easy to find elsewhere, with seven of them never having appeared in the U.S. before this CD, and eight of them previously unreleased anywhere. Do they comprise a musically strong and pleasurable release? Overall, no, even by the standards of rare ...

by Various Artists

This installment in the Trojan budget-priced box set reissue project is one of the better ones to have come down the pike in a while. These three CDs boast 50 historic tracks, including the best example ever, and the mother of all Jamaican duet sides Stranger Cole and Patsy Todd's awesome "When You Call My Name" is a thriving example, on wax, ...

Lady Sings the Blues [EMI]

Lady Sings the Blues [EMI] (2002) more music like this

by Various Artists

American Capitol or British EMI usually issues excellent torch-song anthologies, since it holds in its vault a fount of great material. Lady Sings the Blues expands the template of jazz-driven torch songs to embrace soul and '60s pop as well, thus its success at presenting a compilation with depth and variety. Along with the usual nuggets of torch ...

by Various Artists

Madacy forgoes their usual bottom-of-the-barrel reissues in favor of this three-disc set of "nothing but the hits" classics from Stax. There are 52 cuts from all over the Stax historical rainbow, ranging from obvious hits like Otis Redding's "(Sittin' On) The Dock of the Bay" to less obvious but equally fine selections like the Mad Lads' version ...

Greasy Truckers Party [2007 Expanded Edition] (2007) more music like this

by Various Artists

The Greasy Truckers Party, as a double-LP set, was the Great White Whale of many a music lover's collecting efforts in the 1970s and '80s -- always talked of being sighted by others and ever-eluding the best efforts. So in 2007, some 30-plus years later, the idea that the original eight-track master tapes had survived, and could be retrieved and - ...

VP Records has released several collections of dancehall slanted lovers rock in its Sweet Love series, and this one, although it is labeled Best of Sweet Love, is essentially no different.

Greatest Hits: Collectors Edition (2002) more music like this

by William Bell

A woefully underappreciated soul singer, William Bell, often in collaboration with Booker T. Jones (of MG's fame), wrote some stone cold country-soul classics, including "You Don't Miss Your Water," a hit for Bell in 1961, and "Born Under a Bad Sign," which became the theme song for blues giant Albert King after his version was released in 1967. ...

by Babe Ruth

This self-titled disc from Babe Ruth shows them branching out of the progressive rock style of earlier discs and adding touches of soul, folk and movie theme music to their muse. By covering Curtis Mayfield's "We People Darker Than Blue" and Morricone's "A Fistful of Dollars," Babe Ruth show just how far they've come from their earlier days. Their ...

The Complete Stax-Volt Soul Singles, Vol. 2: 1968-1971 (1993) more music like this

by Various Artists

The first Stax-Volt box was a monolith, standing as the definitive document of the labels and, therefore, gritty Southern soul. Its sequel, The Complete Stax-Volt Soul Singles, Vol. 2: 1968-1971 is considerably more problematic. Covering only four years compared to its predecessor, which showcased nine years, Vol. 2 contains 216 tracks, including ...

Stax 50th Anniversary Celebration (2007) more music like this

by Various Artists

While it's true that this double-disc, 50-track mid-centennial anniversary celebration of the birth of Stax Records -- a label synonymous with Southern soul -- will not rival the three box sets issuing the company's complete singles, it's a killer document. Concord Records purchased the Stax catalog (which occurred when the company purchased ...

The legendary Memphis soul label Stax's legacy is well-represented by this four-CD box set, which manages to do what many similar box retrospectives don't. That is to provide a well-balanced overview of a genre of music that mixes the essential hits with many noteworthy yet lesser-known singles and rarities, coming about as close as possible to ...

This tedious 23-track collection features ten re-recordings of classic hits like "I'm a Man," "Gimme Some Lovin' and "Keep on Running," and the Spencer Davis Group's 1984 Crossfire album, which featured the talents of Flo & Eddie, Dusty Springfield and Booker T. Jones, and three mediocre live cuts. James Christopher Monger, All Music Guide
