Country Got Soul Vol 1 torrent

Think that white men can\'t do soul? Think that the country-soul thang started with

Lambshop\'s \'Nixon\'? Think that all the current compilations out there are just

stuff you\'ve already got, but in a different order?

Well, if you answered \'yes\' to any of the above, then you need \'Country Got Soul\',

a fantastic new compilation on Ross Allen\'s Causals Records, which has been compil-

ed by Jeb Lloy Nichols. If you love either soul or country (and let\'s face it, if

you think country is all Garth Brooks and line dancing, then you\'re a philistine),

or particularly both, then it\'s a dream ticket.

What it is, is a collection of tracks by a hole heap of artist (the likes of Tony

Joe White, Dan Penn, Donnie Fritts, Eddie Hinton), all of whom you\'ve probably nev-

er heard from, who produced some amazing music back in the late sixties and early

seventies. There was a small scene happening in the likes of Mempis and Muscle

Shoals, Tennessee, mixing up the twang of the country music coming from the mount-

ains and the blues coming from the Delta, with some real grit, fun and soul. The

result is some of the best old music heard in a long time - from the funky reinter-

pretation of \'Hey Good Lookin\' (Charlie Rich) to the rallying call of \' I Hate Hate

\' (Razzy) to the euphoric soul of \'The Feeling Is Right\' ( Bobby Hatfield), it\'s

all a real treat. The perfect late summer record and the antidote to all the weak

r\'n\'b littering charts. These good ol\' swamp white boys have a thing or two to

teach us all.
