Once again, Soul Jazz goes digging through the reggae vaults and produces another sterling compilation stuffed full of rarities that never should have been forgotten. The high point of this one might be Tenor Saw's "Ring the Alarm," a chanting bit of hypnotic throb sure to raise the hackles on your neck. The only quibble, and it is a minor one, is the choice of including "Funky Kingston" by Toots & the Maytals. It's a great song to be sure, but one that anybody with a passing interest in reggae has likely heard, and a song whose vibe is clearly at odds with the tracks that surround it. It's certainly no big deal, and doesn't detract from one's enjoyment, but its inclusion amongst a bunch of tracks the casual listener would not have been familiar with is odd. No matter -- if you're looking for a primer on the music of the island, you could do worse than buying every one of the records in this series. (Allmusic)

Tyrone Davis - Can I Change My Mind + Turn Back The Hands Of Time
http://www.discogs.com/Tyrone-Davis-Can-I-Change-My-Mind-Turn-Back-The-Hands-Of-Time/release/6449755
''Can I Change My Mind'' Allmusic Review
After launching his career as a blues singer, Tyrone Davis helped usher in a new era for Chicago soul with his Dakar debut, Can I Change My Mind, teaming with arrangers Don Myrick and Willie Henderson to create a collection of lilting, effervescent R&B grooves sweeter than sugar. Although entries like "Knock on Wood," "Slip Away," and "Call on Me" are rooted in the earthy, rough-edged traditions of Memphis soul, Can I Change My Mind is strikingly urbane: with its loping rhythm, squiggly guitar licks, and buoyant horns, the smash title cut embodies the album in microcosm, but even the sad songs soar, lifted by the sheer vibrancy of the arrangements. And while you can pull the boy out of the blues, you can't pull the blues out of the boy -- Davis' poignant vocals wring genuine emotion from the lyrics but deftly avoid theatricality at every turn.
''Turn Back The Hands Of Time'' Allmusic Review
If the only great song on Tyrone Davis' second album, Turn Back the Hands of Time, was its impeccable title track, it still would have been a noteworthy record in the history of uptown Chicago soul and early-'70s soul -- it's simply that good of a song. Fortunately, it's the tip of the iceberg on this terrific album that ranks among the finest soul records of its era. In a way, the single is a little misleading, since it is such a silky smooth, seductive tune that it gives the impression that everything on the album will be the same, and it's not. Yes, the album has more than its fair share of strings, backing vocals, horns, and even harpsichords (showcased on "If It's Love You're After"), but that doesn't mean this is so smooth that it becomes glossy and slick. Instead, it's luxurious, and Davis is able to deepen it with his nuanced, soulful interpretations; he's even given a chance to try bluesy funk with "Undying Love" and does a great slow ballad with "I Keep Coming Back." What's impressive about the record is not just that Davis is able to handle everything from those slow-burners to the soul-pop, sounding convincing in each setting, but that producer Willie Henderson has crafted utterly appropriate, intoxicating, and unique productions for each song. And those songs are all very, very strong. There's no filler here, just terrific songwriting from the pens of Jack Daniels/Johnny Moore, Eugene Record/Carl Davis, and Cash McCall, among others. There were other singles pulled from Turn Back the Hands of Time that scaled the charts -- "Is It Something You've Got?" and "I'll Be Right Here," both R&B Top Ten hits, plus "Let Me Back In" -- but album tracks like "All the Waiting Is Not in Vain," the Impressions-styled "Just Because of You," and the great, great, funky "Love Bones" are strong as well. There's not a weak moment here (and there shouldn't be, considering that the whole thing clocks in at under 30 minutes), just great early-'70s soul. It's a forgotten gem.

Kings Of The Gospel Highway @320
After digesting these 26 glorious tracks, it's easy to see just how much of an influence the gospel quartet had on everyone from doo-wop crooners such as Clyde McPhatter and soul belters such as Ray Charles to James Brown and Otis Redding. Without any instrumental firepower, the harmonizers establish a rock-solid groove while the lead singer passionately and often acrobatically testifies. Even with that basic template in place, the range of sounds can be remarkable. On the 1950 track by the Pilgrim Travelers, "Dear Lord Look Down Upon Me," leader Kylo Turner delivers a sweet and gentle falsetto vocal that will make you swoon with delight. On the Swan Silvertones' "Working on a Building," it's the intricate, vibrant arrangement that stands out. Then you have the Five Blind Boys of Mississippi's Archie Brownlee, a fiery, earthshaking lead vocalist whose raspy growls on a song like "Will My Jesus Be Waiting" will raise the hair on your neck and hurt your own throat just hearing it. And the Sensational Nightingales' Julius Cheeks, roaring through his "country gospel" adaptations, isn't far behind Brownlee. Other classic quartets such as the Soul Stirrers and the Spirit of Memphis are represented here as well. Though we tend to think of gospel as pretty simple, straightforward music, this compilation reveals all of the subtle nuances, the jazzlike improvisation, and the unbridled intensity that goes into it. Anyone with even a passing interest in secular postwar soul music will be thrilled to hear its deep roots in this record. --Marc Greilsamer, Amazon

KRIS RECORDS - Los Angeles Showcase Of Soul @320
The Kris label, founded by Mel Alexander in 1963, put out soul and R&B records over the next few decades without finding any wide success. This 24-song compilation concentrates on the company's 1960s soul singles, though there are half a dozen post-1970 sides, one from as late as 1994. Los Angeles as a whole did not have an especially strong soul identity, something you could also say of the soul issued by Kris (much of which was written or co-written by Alexander). Often it sounds like it was trying to create a Motown groove; not a bad thing to aspire to and a quest in which Kris was hardly alone, but not a path conducive to branding your mark on history, either. If Lee Harvey's "Prove It" and the Del-Reys' "Walk Proud" thought they weren't trying their damnedest to sound like early Marvin Gaye, the artists and producers were only fooling themselves; BB Carter wants very much to be Mary Wells on "My Lover." By contrast, Fay Cooper tries hard to sound like early Atlantic-era Aretha Franklin on "Don't Hang Yourself (Talk Too Much)," and Harvey competently emulates the Major Lance/Curtis Mayfield Chicago sound on "My Assurance." Harvey (who also recorded as Lee Jones) is the most heavily represented artist, contributing six tracks, and claimed to have taught Sam Cooke how to sing, which is dubious. But as a singer he wasn't bad, coming up with this anthology's best cut, "I'm Gonna Make It (Up to You)," a sort of early funk take on the kind of riffs Gaye sang in the "Hitch Hike" days. The tracks from 1988-1994 are horrible urban contemporary soul, totally out of place given that the audience for soul compilations such as this is totally geared toward the early soul style. And, those aberrations aside, that audience will like this collection. (by Richie Unterberger, Allmusic)

Oh where do I begin??!!!! Oh darling, I can't hold out much longer….. Gracias all.
Thanks Jillem for the soul reggae today, classic music.
Jillem - If you have any of the 100-600% Dynamite albums that we are sharing here that are in 320 or Flac, please share. Most we have are in 320, but a few albums are in 192. An upgrade to 320 or beyond will be appreciated, thanks.
Great to see some reggae shares here. I found the Allmusic review irritating (not to say that RYP is responsible for its content). If you've heard "Funky Kingston", you've most likely heard "Ring the Alarm" and it certainly doesn't require any crate digging to find Tenor Saw's massive hit. Now get out me yard.
Thanks to RYP and Jillem!
Here's a nice Tyrone single for you...Tyrone David - Mind Blowing Decisions...

I do a lot of blathering around here, I know. But I don't thank you enough, Jillem. So, Thank you, Sir, for all you do.
Little bit of confusion today (at least I was confused...) Jillem posted a two by Tyrone DaviS (soul)...brianbora posted a single by Tyrone DaviD (reggae). I especially love the twofer. Thanks Jillem!

Gyro, thanx for posting the gospel & soul. I particularly dig the independent labels like Kris 'cos this seems to be where the soul of Soul resides. Please post all 6 volumes of Dynamite if you can as they constitute a truly great series and show how inventive and funky reggae could be. I remember picking up a couple of them at a market in Phnom Penh in 2002 quite by accident and because CDs were soooo cheap. Certainly one of the best buys I ever made.
