"Dixie Boppin' Country Billies" Vol 1

As the title suggests this disc gathers up the more country oriented material released on Dixie. The opener is a winner - Danny Brockman singing the heck out of one called Big Big Man , the fiddles and guitar are rousing. Elmer Bryant sings Gertie's Garter Broke , a funny yarn about a dance contest and well done too. The King Brothers with the Virginia Mountaineers were a bluegrass outfit and sound great on A True Loving Woman . Bill & Paul & the Bluegrass Travelers were another bluegrass band and they're not bad either on Doin' My Time and the instrumental Bluegrass Hop . Dang Your Pride by Ronnie Miller sounds like a cross between Buck Owens and Roger Miller. Just Look, Don't Touch by Dee Johnson is another good one, Dee's deep voice sound mighty fine and the guitar pickin' is very nice. And if git-fiddle wrestlin' is your thing then Tom Crook - Weekend Boogie , Jack Hanna - Brady And Dunky and Jake Thomas - Meanest Blues/ Poor Boy Blues should also please. Throw in a few more good ones and a few "flea-bags" and you'll have a taste of Dixie C&W. (AE, Roots & Rhythm)

Kent Harris' R&B Family (Ace CD)

2012 collection. As Boogaloo & His Gallant Crew, Kent Harris cut the original version of Bo Diddley's 'Cops and Robbers' and shot to prominence when it was proved that his version of 'Shoppin' for Clothes' was the original one, purloined by Leiber and Stoller for the Coasters. He was a major mover in black music in LA, appearing as DJ Stumblin' Blue on XERB, Wolfman Jack's station. He also had a string of record shops called Target Records in Southern California. His family included three sisters: Marcene ("Dimples"), Beverly and Betty who performed as the Harris Sisters. Dimples was the most prominent and it was on the flip of two of her 45s for the Trend label in 1954 that Kent first sang as Ducky Drake. Then came the Boogaloo 45s. Dimples continued to record under several different names and is featured on 'Love Came Tumbling Down' which she wrote with husband Harold Jackson who is also featured on the stunning 'Freedom Riders'; both are very in-demand 45s for the new R&B dance crowd. Ace. (The Soul Detective)

Ike & Tina Turner Revue Live: Recorded Live At Club Imperial & Harlem Club, St. Louis, Missouri 1964 (P-Vine CD)

With most classic R&B acts, we feel lucky to get one genuine live recording -- in the case of Ike & Tina Turner, by contrast, we have an embarrassment of riches in the way of concert recordings from the early- to mid-1960s, and it started with this Kent Records release. Issued in 1964, soon after they left Kent, it captured 35 minutes of their live act, from the Club Imperial and the Harlem Club in St, Louis. In addition to Tina Turner in an extended rap attached to "Please, Please, Please," we also get Jimmy Thomas in a rousing version of "Feel So Good," Venetta Fields' mournful, magnificent "The Love of My Man," Bobby John on the smooth, soulful, soaring "Think," Stacy Johnson doing "Drown in My Own Tears," Robbie Montgomery's "I Love the Way You Love," and Vernon Guy singing "Your Precious Love." The original album closed with the duo's "All in My Mind" and "I Can't Believe What You Say" (Bruce Eder, Allmusic)


1 Ike & Tina Turner Please, Please, Please
2 Jerry Thomas Feel So Good
3 Vanetta Fields The Love Of My Man
4 Bobby John Think
5 Stacy Johnson Drown In My Own Tears
6 Robbie Montgomery I Love The Way You Love
7 Vernon Guy Your Precious Love
8 Ike & Tina Turner All In My Mind

Shirley Ann Lee - Songs of Light (1967-1969, Numero Group 2012)

“Raw Americana and unvarnished vernacular music,” as well as “gospel, ethnographic recordings, folk songs, and experimental compositions.” Cue Shirley Ann Lee.

For those who followed Numero Group’s 2009 compilation Local Customs: Downriver Revival, it should come as no surprise that the reissue label’s 2012 Shirley Ann Lee release is brilliant, breathtaking and essential listening. Songs of Light – the “Shirley Ann Lee album that never was,” according to Numero – figured prominently on Downriver Revival, highlighted by Lee’s genre-bending “There’s a Light.” That song’s use of Eastern influences against a mysterious, indefinable rhythm foreshadowed the raw, homemade (and often eclectic) blend of gospel, country, blues and soul that this 18-song collection brings.

A Man Needs A Woman: Mainstream Soul Survey (P-Vine 2007)

A veteran of Savoy, Mercury and EmArcy, producer Bob Shad founded his own independent imprint Mainstream Records in late 1963 -- though largely known for a series of cult-classic jazz fusion sessions issued during the early half of the '70s, the label also released its share of mellow, heartfelt soul singles, with occasional forays into harder, funkier material. A Man Needs a Woman, one of several Mainstream retrospectives compiled by Japan's P-Vine imprint, spotlights the label's deep soul artists, emphasizing a grittier, rougher-edged approach unusual within the label's ouevre; Shad's ear for emerging talent serves him well here, and then-unknowns including Jackie Beavers ("When Something Is Wrong with My Baby") and Doris Duke ("Business Deal") submit potent sides. The majority of these performances were confined exclusively to scarce singles, and many make their CD debut. Additional highlights include the Underground Express' "Where Can I Run?" and Jeany Reynolds' "Down on Me." (Jason Ankeny, Allmusic)

Thanks GYRO

The Ike & Tina Turner is much appreciated particularly for the Venetta Field track. Venetta performed in Oz for years and was all over the TV and Concert circuit.
