Performer Notes
  • The concept behind this 20-track compilation of Memphis soul, blues, and R&B from the 1960s is simple enough: compile some of the best such material that's both raw and rare, taken from the vaults of a bunch of Memphis labels. That includes not just Stax (which is well represented), but also smaller imprints, including the Goldwax and XL labels, both of which have cults among collectors. Given the quality of music here, this is a pretty good anthology, though not one that's a starter Memphis '60s best-of, due to the absence of big hits or star artists. Spencer Wiggins, Ruby Johnson, the gospel group the Dixie Nightingales, and Isaac Hayes (on the rare 1965 single "Blue Groove" by Sir Isaac & the Doo-Dads) all have some name recognition, but generally it's doubtful even big Memphis '60s soul collectors have much of this. The material tends toward the bluesier end of the Memphis R&B/soul scene, and provides a good cross-section of the style at its swampiest and funkiest. There are some near-gems in Prince Conley's brooding "I'm Going Home"; the Dixie Nightingales' spooky "Assassination," and the Cobras' instrumental "Restless." Also, Junior Kimbrough (who became far more famous about 25 years later) is represented by his rare, and very gutbucket, 1967 cover of Lowell Fulsom's "Tramp." This is recommended to soul fans looking for something different on a well-annotated compilation where rarity and quality aren't mutually exclusive.
