"South Side Soul Survey"

Clarence Johnson Presents Chicago’s South Side Soul SurveyA wonderful collection of lost soul singles from the south side of Chicago – produced by the legendary Clarence Johnson and featuring work by The Lovelites, Deniece Chandler, Jesse James, Heaven & Earth and many more – richly soulful tunes that go miles deeper than the more famous mainstream material of the time! One time Chi-Lite Clarence Johnson was a behind-the-scenes force for many a great harmony soul session in 70s Chicago – and this features incredible work from the end of the 60s and the decade beyond – cut for Johnson associated labels Lock, GEC and more – plus Red Balloon, 20th Century and others. The set is full of soaring group harmonies with male and female leads, lush, but still down-to-earth soulful arrangements, and loads of great songs. They might not have reached the mainstream in the way records for Chess, Vee Jay and Brunswick did – but the sounds are just as wonderful! Titles include "Will You Be There" by Anna Raye, "I Really Love You" by Bobby James, "I'm Not Like The Others" by Little Jimmy Gandy", "Mama, I Wish I'd Stayed Home" by Deniece Chandler, "I Feel So Bad" by Reggie Soul", "That's What You Get" by Sunday Williams, "Love Diet" by The Five Wagers, "Hey Love" by Pat & Pam, "Oh What A Day" by The Lovelites, "Let's Get It Together" by Heaven & Earth, "A Real True Woman" by Morris Jefferson and more. 22 tracks in all – including a few previously unreleased tunes!  © 1996-2015, Dusty Groove, Inc.

"The First Rock and Roll Record"

Musicians play music, and when they play, they don't begin something so much as they pick something back up that was there all along, and music expands like a delta this way, an unbreakable loop that doesn't begin or end but just rolls onward like a wave. And rock & roll as an American musical form is very much like a delta, collecting elements from jazz, blues, country, gospel, R&B, show tunes, and whatever else was floating around into a high-charged, rambunctious music that defined and drove pop culture across the backwaters of the 20th century and into the 21st. So where is the start of all this? Where is either the chicken or the egg that begat rock & roll? It's a bit like deciding which drop of water really started the river flowing to the sea. This three-disc, 82-track collection tries to find that drop of water and trace it forward, but it's an impossible task -- the river flows all at once everywhere. The first disc explores songs from the 1920s, '30s, and '40s that feature rocking and/or rolling in the lyrics, while the second charts a little more of rock & roll's linear expansion into the amplified and electric modern world it would come to define and provide a pulsing soundtrack for, and if the chicken or the egg question of where rock & roll began isn't exactly answered here, this set makes for a fascinating tour through some wonderfully cool and classic stuff like Amos Milburn's rollicking "Chicken Shack Boogie," Tampa Red's desperately frantic "It's Tight Like That" (from 1927), and Les Paul and Mary Ford's timelessly amazing "How High the Moon," the first single in the modern world to suggest the recording studio itself was a player in all this. The set ends with Elvis Presley's "Heartbreak Hotel," as close to a template for the perfect rock & roll single as one is likely to find. So, what came first, the rock & roll chicken or the rock & roll egg? No matter. The chicken crossed the road, and that's when rock & roll really started. The rest is discography.

"LOST SOULS" Vol. 4 - Unreleased 1960's Garage & Psychedelic Rock From Arkansas

Lost Souls Volume 4 features ALL unreleased tracks from the heyday of garage and psychedelic rock in Arkansas from 1965-1968. Lost Souls Volume 4 mines unknown and rare gems from even deeper into the vault of Arkansas. 90% originals and 100% uncomped. You have NEVER heard these tunes before, which have been hidden on acetates and tapes on the brink of extinction. Lost Souls Volume 4 features acetate contributions by Joey D, Mark Taylor, and Barry Wickham in addtion to discoveries by Harold Ott for Psych of the South records. A 16 page booklet provides info and pictures to check out while you listen to the 22 undiscovered songs gathered here. (Shindig)The Lost Souls series has maintained a high standard throughout its run, digging up the rarest of the rare artifacts from the ‘60s South, and presenting them with substance and style. There’s no decline in quality on Volume 4, only an incline in the degree of rarity. All 22 tracks here are previously unreleased, existing only on old tape reels or studio acetates, many of them from Little Rock’s Jaggars Recording Studio, whose acetate labels declare “THIS RECORD CUT WITH HOT STYLUS.” The “hot stylus” sounds on tap here include four cuts by the Federal Union, including two versions of the first rate, thumping “Can’t Stop, Can’t Let Go,” one boasting some finger-scrabbling “Mystic Eyes” inspired lead guitar. The Stepin’ [sic] Stones deliver a plaintive teen jangler “I Pity People,” the Coachmen’s “Tears of Blue” is a sublime Zombies-like ballad (an earlier take than the one later issued on MY), as is the Barons’ wrist-slashingly melancholic “That’s What I Need Your Love For.” For those in need of hardier fare, look no further than the awesomely-named Steppendog and their raunched-up, fuzz-laced “I’m Feeling Down” or the Vipers’ “So Excited,” an archetypal, organ-fueled punker with revved-up “You’re Gonna Miss Me” chords and screaming vocals. “So Excited” is the best of five cuts culled from a 1966 home recording of that group, which also includes the melodic winner “She Just Goes Her Way” and the driving “My Love is Gone.” Cover models the Villigers [sic] and The Tuesday Blues both make return appearances, and what would a compilation of ‘60s garage acetates be without at least one “Unknown” artist, in this case a somewhat muffled but nevertheless enjoyable minor-key, organ-enhanced mover called “In My Place.” Given the degraded source material of some of these tracks, fidelity is sometimes several leagues below “master tape” quality (especially towards the end of the CD), but for lovers of rough’n’ready garage rock rarities that’s hardly an issue. As always, Lost Souls comes packaged with a thick booklet featuring full liner notes and some great, previously unseen band photos. (MS) Mike Stax, Ugly Things Apr 12, 2013trax:

VARETTA DILLARD "Mercy, Mr. Percy" 1951-1961

A powerful, versatile, big-voiced singer, Varetta Dillard was rated by many pundits as very nearly the equal of peers like Dinah Washington, Lavern Baker, Ruth Brown and Big Maybelle.  However although she undoubtedly possessed a magnificent voice, Varetta was, sadly, physically handicapped, which greatly restricted her career.  Consequently, although she registered a trio of big R&B hits during the early 50s, she failed to achieve any significant crossover Pop success and as a result, remains something of a cult figure, little known outside of specialist, collectors’ circles.  Her recording career covered some ten years, from 1951-61, during which she released twenty-eight singles.  All appear on this unique compilation, Disc 1 comprising her Savoy recordings, 1951-55, whilst Disc 2 features her Groove, RCA, Triumph and Cub releases between 1956-61.

"LOST SOULS" Vol. 3 - Arkansas Garage Psychedelia Rock 1963-1971

This compilation digs deeper than ever before into the vault of obscure Arkansas rock 'n' roll from the 1960s and early 70s. Lost Souls Volume 3 includes uncomped and unknown gems from small regional studios in the form of acetates, 45s, and recently discovered reel to reel tapes. This compilation comes as the result of years of research and findings from the original bands and label owners. If you were going to a local American Legion building to hear the latest sounds from local bands in the 1960s in Arkansas then this is what you would have heard. (Shindig)Psych of the South Records recently released "Lost Souls Vol. 3 Arkansas Garage Psychedelic Rock 1963-1971," its latest installment mining the Natural State's psychedelic nuggets. OK, so it's actually been out for a good minute or so, but we just got our grubby mitts on a copy here at the underground Arkansas Times mega-compound, and it's pretty good stuff. And at 29 tracks and 78 minutes, it's one cot-dang full CD, too.

As with previous volumes, this edition was culled from 45s that were released on regional labels such as Clark, Silver-Dollar, Zay-Dee and others, as well as acetates and reel-to-reel tapes of rehearsals and shows. Much of this stuff had been gathering dust in somebody's box of forgotten dreams for the last 40-plus years, until Psych of the South owner Harold Ott came along to help this music see light of day once more.

Most of the bands on this disc will only be familiar to two sets of folks: 1) those who were there, and 2) the sort of obsessive record collectors who still live in their mom's basements and have intense online arguments about whether Love's "Forever Changes" is better in stereo or mono.

Speaking of Love, there are three tracks from the L.A. folk-rock act's first album included on Lost Souls Vol. 3, and all three were cut by Jonesboro bands. Red Light Funnies' take on the Bacharach/David number "Little Red Book" is similar to the punked up version Love had a hit with; Lemon Meat cut a brooding, Animals-esque interpretation of Arthur Lee's anti-drug dirge "Signed D.C."; and Scorpio offer up a mellow, Hammond-laced "Hey Joe," which was also on the first Love album.

If you're a serious garage rock head or if you have an interest in Arkansas music history, this latest Lost Souls collection is definitely one to pick up. Why, I bet you could find a copy at Arkansas Record & CD Exchange. http://www.arktimes.com/RockCandy/archives/2011/12/13/latest-lost-souls-garage-rock-comp-out

"LOST SOULS" Vol. 2 - Garage Psychedelic Rock from Arkansas 1965-1971

Lost Souls Volume 2 - Garage Psychedelic Rock from Arkansas and Beyond 1965-1971 gathers unheard, unknown, and legendary garage and psychedelic rock from Arkansas and Southeast Missouri in the 1960s. PLUS for the first time the garage punk classic The Modds - Leave My House is sourced directly from a recently discovered reel to reel tape revealing more than ever heard before. The Esquires "Sadie's Ways" is also here from the master tape. It charted #1 in Memphis before getting banned on the radio for suggestive lyrics in 1965! ALL tracks are sourced from reel to reel tapes recovered from the private collections of the original musicians and studio owners. 15 bands are featured in an extensive 20 page full color booklet including liner notes with details on EVERY band. The sounds contained within reveal a hidden history of garage and psychedelic music previously unknown to exist. Hear new sounds from the past ranging from primitive garage to heavy psych and beyond. As a result of these discoveries, old bandmates and friends have reunited to discuss and celebrate the music of their past. The CD is the product of years of research into the garage groups that formed in Arkansas in the wake of the British Invasion. Bands from all over the state formed at this time to make their own records at a handful of local studios. Psych of the South is dedicated to uncovering the lost 1960s and early 1970s recordings of Arkansas and the surrounding area. Through interviews with original band members, studio owners, and fans, Psych of the South is bringing new life to the sounds of the past with the Lost Souls Volume 2 CD.Doing exactly what it says on the tin, this compilation starts magnificently with a quintessential slice of garage snarl as The Modds rip through Leave My House, a track filled with nasty overdriven guitar and venomous vocals. With a more commercial feel, well less fuzz anyway, The Electric Sunshine were 9 years old when they formed and recorded, fair play to them as it is a decent effort albeit derivative. Despite sounding like Steppenwolf, The Tuesday Blues display some fine musicianship on the wonderfully arranged Have You Ever Loved Somebody, whilst have a excellent sound one a brace of psych songs, with Sky Flight being the pick of the two. Another fine brace of songs is presented by The Coachmen, whose Byrdsian jangle has a commercial edge, backed by some fine vocals. The band have even re-united recently for some 40th anniversary shows, the original songs being recorded in 1966. It always amazes me that compilation such as this, that rely on a small (relatively) geographical area for their material, can find enough decent quality material for such a collection, and while the quality may dip slightly in places, this cd contains some real killers spread across its 24 tracks, including the excellent psych (ish) version of the soul classic Ninety Nine and a Half, recorded by Scorpio, and featuring some lovely Hammond organ. Those of you with a love of the West-Coast sound will enjoy, the swirling psych of Stonehenge, whose Try to Help Each Other comes complete with eco-aware lyrics and a moody guitar riff. A similar, psych swirl is provided by The Purple Canteen, a band who owned a foot operated lightshow and rehearsed in a canteen painted purple and whose If You Like It That Way contains some fine fuzzed up guitar work. Offering a trio of strong songs, Woo Too Country Band, Feature powerful female vocals courtesy of Susan Gent, whilst the rest of the band display some maturity in their playing, fine arrangements and subtly, all this and a garage cover of What a Friend We Have In Jesus, what more could you want!! With honourable mentions going to L.D. Mitchell & the Amalgamated Taxi Cab Service, for their moody anti-draft song Roses Roses, as well as the funky/slowburning album closer It Could make You Know the Truth- Jimmy Roberts, a song with piano and trombones included, giving it a completely different feel, this compilation is one that you will return you more than once, bring on volume three. (Simon Lewis) --Terrascope Online

This is another second shot, but rather than being a separate album by the same artist, it is instead a further compilation of old recordings by bands from the old days, i.e. the Sixties and thereabouts. One can definitely discern the British invasion influences on these bands (and the pieces are a great deal of fun to listen to and to cogitate on, e.g. there is one track that is so very Buddy Holly, by whom the Brit bands were heavily influenced). They are mostly from Arkansas, but there are a couple of Missouri bands in the mix as well. The liner notes give a lot of information on the groups and where they recorded and even in some cases how they went on to reform as different bands; in fact, it is almost as much fun to read them as it is to listen to the music. The is an instrumental track featuring Jonesboro native Gary Baker, who invented his own instruments and was obviously influenced by jazz organist Jimmy Smith. This is a classic blast from the past and should be in the collection of any follower of music history or fan of music from what we could call a gentler era and, while most of the cuts are dated, there are some that will remind you of bands playing today. The more things change, the more they stay the same? Go to psychofthesouth.com for more data. --Nightflying Magazine

Clearly, this is part of a worthy and ongoing local history project to trace and document the garage and psychedelic music of Arkansas in the 1960s. Listening from the inside, this is something to be proud of, coming as the music does, from unreleased reel to reel tapes in private collections. From a wider perspective however, it does not, to my ears at least, maintain the same consistency of its predecessor. Its strength lays in the first 12 tracks. The Models Leave My House is a garage cruncher and there s soulful and acid fuzz in tracks by The Dust, The Right Track and Saturday s Children. Much of the second half though, is punctuated by indifferent mid-paced instrumentals and so-so melodies. There s a period warmth and glow about it as a package though which helps make it more than the sum of its parts. Paul Martin --Shindig Magazine

"LOST SOULS" Vol. 1 - 1960’s Garage & Psychedelic Rock ’n’ Roll From The Un-Natural State -Arkansas

From the depths of the most rural parts of Arkansas emerges a wild collection of garage and psychedelic unknowns. & Lost Souls, Volume 1 is full of cryptic killers and psychedelic cycles from custom labels and obscurities of Arkansas, many of which never landed outside of the town where they originated. They all share a unique sound that comes from being isolated in rural communities yet brimming with teen abandon. The liner notes are filled with detailed exclusive info on The Lost Souls, Sole Society, Purple Canteen, and more will aim to please for the curious listener.Now another rope ladder descent into the bottomless pit that appears to be the U.S. sixties / seventies garage psych scene. The Lost Souls (Vol. 1) CD compilation curated by musician and record collector Harold Ott would immediately suggest that its release was the culmination of countless hours of burning the midnight oil, when eating and sleeping (and other essentials) fell by the wayside in deference to making an absorbing trawl through the musical heritage of Arkansas. These reactivated 45s, acetates and master tapes, 29 in all, are thoughtfully sequenced in chronological order and detail the bratty ripostes, and, in time, the more weirded out responses made to the then booming British invasion. When it comes down to influences and innocent ghosting, a good percentage seem to acknowledge Them in favour of Stonesy swagger and Zombies-esque sensitivity, witness The Yardleys, Barefacts, the excellent Xciters with Upsetter and the edgy delivery of Gene Burnett on Hey Come On Now . However for me, the more interesting combos look to their own. The Shades (featuring Bob Fly) offer a sublime moment in Young Rascals-shaded white soul in Hit It . L.D. Mitchell and The Amalgated Taxi Cab Service s plea for racial harmony ( Planet of Union ) is a Doorsy mid-pacer, less portentous and doomy than those other Jimboclones Phantom s Divine Comedy. Amps are turned to eleven with Blackfoot s Bummed Out , an embryonic hard rock / psych crossover where Steppenwolf are put in a blender with the Damnation of Adam Blessing. As for the weirdest thing , well it just has to be LSD by the Suspension of Belief. A stream of consciousness infused folk rock exploitation disc in which the producer, a man out of his time, dropped in recordings of a female opera singer at timely moments. A low tech precursor to sample culture? Maybe! As a number of US /Euro comps I ve chanced upon recently have a just make do policy no sleevenotes, smudgy band and label pics ...Souls comes as a clunker-free breath of fresh air and clearly goes that extra garage mile in the research department. --Terrascope Online
Brilliantly researched batch of small town sounds There are plenty of surprises lurking in this inspirational debut comp from the Arkansas-based and unashamedly Arkansas-centric Psych Of The South label. Covering 1965-71, the spread of grooves includes the inevitable garage and Brit Invasion, psych and prog soundalikes, but because researcher/curator Harold Ott's focus is so obsessively narrow, he s also turned up some wildly eccentric local variations on 45, acetate and original master tape. Witness the strangely funky garage-country sound of Trouble Bros Your Love Is Gone, Supension Of Disbelief s LSD, complete with their svengali s random postproduction opera samples, and future preacher LD Mitchell s insistent message of brotherly love in Planet Of Union. The sleeve picture of would-be weirdoes The Sole Society playing a Saturday afternoon gig outside the K-Mart is priceless; likewise the love and intimacy poured into Ott s booklet notes, including highs such as the garage-a-billy Roustabouts, house band at the now defunct Lil Abner theme park in Little Rock . Like Harold says, This puppy moves. Psych Of The South | 4501 Reviewed by Derek Hammond --Record Collector Magazine
Just when you thought every single thread of music from the past has been resurrected in digital form, a package such as this surfaces. And that's a good thing because folks like us can never get enough of the stuff. While there's no shortage of compilation albums centering on particular regions of the world, Arkansas is one state that hasn't been examined much at all, so Lost Souls is indeed a welcome release. A fair share of these bands are captured straddling the transition between frat rock and British Invasion sounds, resulting in a string of crude yet awfully charming tunes. Strands of soul and funk music also tend to crop up in the sessions, but for the most part, the record as its subtitle proclaims, salutes the gritty garage punk racket and trippy psychedelic sensations we all know and love. Among the joys heard on Lost Souls are Upsetter by The Xciters, The Problem of Tyme's Back Of My Mind, The Blue and Gray's rendition of Don't Bring Me No Flowers, which was initially laid to vinyl by The Gentrys, Even Though It's Wrong from Michael Troy and The Pharaohs, and The Light Won't Shine by The Yardleys. Shuffling grooves, choppy guitars, snotty vocals, trashy drumming and squeaky organ passages rule the turf. Seated in the freaky corner of the room, there's Blackfoot's Bummed Out, Purple Canteen's Brains In My Feet and Mystic Illusion's Colour Of My Daye. As the sixties stomped on, the music encountered many dramatic changes, which are firmly illustrated on Lost Souls, where the energy is contagious and the possibilities are boundless.

SAM BAKER "I Believe In You" 1965-1969: The Legendary John Richbourg Sessions (Sound Stage 7)

Sam Baker's voice was one of the most distinctive and expressive of the southern soul genre and his falsetto bursts were simply thrilling. His most consistent period was from 1965-1969 when he was produced by WLAC radio DJ John Richbourg for the Nashville label Sound Stage 7. This album is a complete collection of his historic Sound Stage 7 recordings with informative liner notes by John Ridley. (Soul Detective)A treasure trove of work from this overlooked southern soul singer – recordings that Sam Baker cut down in Nashville for the Sound Stage Seven label – all brought together here in one very comprehensive package! Sam's got a voice that's pitched slightly higher than some of his contemporaries, but with soul that goes equally deep – and the setting here is perfect for his phrasing, with nicely punctuated rhythms that give even the mellower cuts a nice kick up from the bottom! Baker's got a nicely sensitive approach at times – which really makes the set great – a nice mix of sophisticated styles that gets way past overdone southern soul modes. 22 tracks in all – including "What Did Sister Do", "You Can't See The Blood", "Just A Glance Away", "Safe In The Arms Of Love", "I Believe In You", "I'm Number One", "Sunny", "I Can't Stand It", "Coming To Bring You Some Soul", and "Strange Sensation".  © 1996-2015, Dusty Groove, Inc.

I BELIEVE IN YOU gathers all of American soul singer Sam Baker's single sides for the cult label Sound Stage 7. Cut between 1965 and 1969 in Memphis by producer John Richbourg, none of these 22 songs were more than regional hits at best, but they have developed a devoted following in the Northern Soul scene in the decades since their release. The set features remastered sound and detailed liner notes by archivist John Ridley. (Allmusic)

"Rockin’ On Acorn-Regent" Vol. 2 (Blues - R&B - Gospel)

Another great selection - the highlight for me being the originally unissued acapella gospel You Must Bow Down by The Silvertone Singers - this track is alone worth the price of admission. There is more fine gospel from The Moses Gospel Singers, Lincoln Gospel Singers and singer/ guitarist Mary DeLoatch. Mary's secular side (as by Marylyn Scott) is heard on the rocking Beer Bottle Boogie with accompaniment by The Johnny Otis Orch. who are also here backing Mel Walker & Little Esther and Devonia Williams as well as on their classic instrumental Hangover Blues with spectacular guitar work from Pete Lewis. There are a couple of fine cuts from vocal group The Four Barons including the risque Lemon Squeezer and the Korean war song Got To Go Back Again. The set also includes "Fat Man" Robinson, Billye Williams (The Blues Girl), Johnny Crawford Orch., Sirloin Burg, Little JImmy & His Orch. and more. (FS) (Roots & Rhythm)

"Coral Records Rock & Roll Party"

34 track collection of rock 'n' roll recorded for the Coral label from the mid 50s through the early 60s. Many of these tracks have been reissued before but it's nice to have them all together in this thematic compilation. The set opens with the fine Rock, Rock, Rock by Jimmy Cavello & His House Rockers - a fine artist whose career dates back to the 1940s. There are two exceptional tracks from the hot 5 Chavis Brothers with great vocals and hot guitar and Ivan (Jerry Allison) is here with his frequently reissued Real Wild Child with its sublime rock 'n' roll guitar solos from Buddy Holly. Other artists include Don Cornell (pretty bland), Billy Williams, The Dawn Breakers, Dorothy Collins, Moon Mullican, Dick Vale (his Rock-A-Billy Blues is not bad but it's neither rockabilly or blues!), Baker Knight (the fine Just RelaxThat's My Babe recorded just a few months before he hit it big on Liberty with Memphis), The Goofers, Roy Berkeley (a fine cover of Paul Evans' Hushabye Little Guitar or is it the other round?) and others. With 34 tracks there's more than enough good stuff to make this very worthwhile. (FS) (Roots & Rhythm)
