Various Artists
Memphis Soul 69
he album, the last in the present series, showcases the various aspects of African-American music in the River City in 1969 - still one
of the best music centres in the US. Most southern soul fans will tell you that that the music produced in Memphis in 1967 and 1968 was
the pinnacle of quality. So following on from our look at the River City's soul output in 1967, we now turn our attention to an album
covering the next year. As before, the singers here are a heady mixture of local Tennessee talent and welcome soulful guests who
journeyed down south hoping that a little of the famous Memphis magic would rub off on their songs. There are soul genres to suit all
tastes here - from the deepest ballads to upbeat tracks that will rock your socks off. Soul doesn't get much better than the artists and
their tunes on this LP!
