Lovingly compiled by musicologist and all-around 60's music guru Ben Chaput, these ten comps feature some of the best obscure sides late '60's music has to offer. For the past ten years or so, rare psychedelic rock, garage and freakbeat have occupied the hearts and minds of music collectors everywhere as well as helping to empty their wallets. Scores of labels have popped up in the last decade dedicated to nothing but digging up and re-issuing rare private press releases as well as long-forgotten records put out on major labels. Think about how popular and noteworthy the Nuggets boxsets are and the Pebbles compilations and some of the other boxsets seeking to give listeners the best music of the '60's. Then, think about this great series of sets featuring some of the best music of the '60's all geared towards the collector and music freak, with rare songs never used on any other compilation. Truly, with this set of well-put-together comps, fans of this kind of music have hit the motherlode. (Lost In The Grooves)

Willie West & The High Society Brothers - Lost Soul '14 @320
An album's worth of exceptionally potent soul music. Lost Soul, the fresh release from the underappreciated New Orleans legend Willie West redefines the emotive and artistic quality of contemporary soul music. It takes the music far away from formulaic modes of the genre, and crafts its own swampy, dark, and poetic space, which leans more towards the work by independent songwriters of the 1970's than their commercial counterparts.
Lost Soul continues on the moody path laid by the 7" single recordings West has done with The High Society Brothers band from the year 2009. The group is composed of the key members of the Finnish funk powerhouse The Soul Investigators, who have previously backed worldwide success stories for artists such as Nicole Willis and the vocal duo Myron & E.
Born and raised in Louisiana, Willie West made his first recording already in the year 1959. While being backed by The Meters, he also had one release on Warner Brothers in the mid 1970's, plus numerous singles produced by Allen Toussaint. Even though he was noticed locally and in the circles of soul music aficionados with minor hits such as "Did You Have Fun" in 1960, Willie never managed to break to national success. During the past years, he has lived in Minnesota and kept himself busy in music. Lost Soul might be just the thing that finally gives him wider recognition.

Shout, Sister, Shout! A Tribute To Sister Rosetta Tharpe '03
A tribute to pioneering folk-gospel singer and guitarist Sister Rosetta Tharpe, this collection packs a lot of wallop and joy into its 17 tracks, including fine versions of "Nobody's Fault But Mine" by Joan Osborne and the Holmes Brothers, "This Train" by Janis Ian, and "Didn't It Rain" by Marie Knight, all of which were standard pieces in Tharpe's repertoire. It's all fun, energetic, and inspiring. (Steve Leggett, Allmusic)
The music of the late Sister Rosetta Tharpe is one of those buried treasures of Americana periodically exhumed to delight the previously unaware. Nominally a gospel singer, she was in fact a triple-threat performer: singer, guitarist, and composer. Of course, the respectful and tasteful covers by the all-female roster here reveal only Tharpe's compositional contributions. Festival staples like "This Train," sung by Janis Ian (with some snappy guitar picking of her own), and "Precious Memories," done in haunting but near tuneless fashion by Sweet Honey in the Rock, are joined by spirited renditions of lesser known Tharpe originals like "Beams of Heaven" (taken to church by Phoebe Snow) and "Up Above My Head" (Maria Muldaur). Other contributors like Victoria Williams, Rory Block, Odetta, and Michelle Shocked bring Tharpe's repertoire into their own stylistic realms. Tharpe's former singing partner Marie Knight most closely approaches the fervor of her late friend on "Didn't It Rain," with Jimmy Vivino hinting at Tharpe's guitar style. Thankfully the CD includes an MPEG of the Sister herself singing and rocking out on electric guitar with an energy unequaled elsewhere on the record. (Michael Ross)
BONUS 6 OF 8 (Pt.2)
Shout, Sister, Shout! A Tribute To Sister Rosetta Tharpe '03
An EXTRAORDINARY album! It is an absolute must for those interested in true "roots" music. You will find yourself filing it next to your soundtrack from "Down From The Mountain" or "O'Brother Where Art Thou?" On the other hand, you may file it with your Blues music. But it is Gospel?
The truth is...to my ear... this album is an excellent demonstration of the interrelationship of Gospel, Blues and Jazz. And the performers! Simply the best available today. For those that are not familiar with some of them, you may find some new "friends." I was especially pleased to see that Angela Strehli was included.
You will also be treated to an excellent history on Sister Rosetta Tharpe...Like Who Knew?
There is also an extra treat included for those with computers--an MPEG file of Sister Rosetta Tharpe singing "Down By The Riverside." Simply open Windows Media or Real Audio, and select the file from your drive to play it. You won't be disappointed. (Frank Simpson, Record Runner)

SHORTY LONG - Hey, Doll Baby! (The Shorty Long Story 1947-1956) (El Toro) '15
Our Shorty Long is not the same artist who recorded for Motown during the 1960s, but our Shorty Long had a rich and varied career, covering country, rock 'n' roll, pop and musical theatre; and a respected musician who backed the likes of Elvis and Janis Martin in the studio. His dearest wish was to be remembered for his not insignificant contribution to the history of country music and hopefully this collection, the first ever reissue dedicated to his legacy, will go some way to achieving that.

Another tasty round of selections today from everyone - thanks to all! Quick question Gyro - the last three tracks on the Shorty Long comp with that EP guy are missing - requested removal by the estate?
Great to see Willie West. Thanks, man!
Zyderock - I am not sure why the last three tracks with Elvis are missing. I do know that I was rushing in order to make it to work early today, so I could have made an error. If you saw my crazy mad dash in the mornings to do these bonus before work you would laugh. Anyway, I will check this tomorrow since I am leaving for the city soon and I won't be home til tomorrow.
Thanks
Thanks for Voyages and Willie West!
thank you for sharing.
Track 22 of Voyages Into ... The Bottomless Pit Vol 2 is missing for the FLAC files. Does anyone have that track in flac?
Thank you very much for Shorty Long
Gyro - love the insight and the vision now moving forward of the morning mad dash to share. It only emphasizes again how much giving there is in your shares. I always read the descriptions and they are often enlightening on the material I'm unfamiliar with so thank you for including them. Listening at the moment to the Thorpe comp and its soooooo good.
Thanks Gyro for all the shares of today. I've enjoyed the first volume of "voyage" and I'm sure it'll be the same with the others volumes ; as usual ,I've never heard before of Willie West. Thanks again.
