"Deep & Gritty The Sound Of The City" Vol 2: Chicago

Deep, tough and rare Chicago soul from the 60’s into the early 70’s - most have never been on a compilation before!Chicago in the 1950s was the place to go for the Blues.  In the Sixties the music started to bring in elements from the black church and became known as soul.  But the heavy hitting vocal styles still had that down home grit and the music producers carried on using those sledge hammer beats. And so the city got a new reputation as the center of hard soul. This CD brings together some of the finest examples of this approach.  Deep and Gritty from the City -- the Windy City's finest!
