Sweet Soul Music - Voices from the Shadows


If you have any interest in soul music, I highly recommend Peter Guralnick's book Sweet Soul Music: Rhythm and Blues and the Southern Dream of Freedom. When it came out, Warner Brothers also put out a really great companion cd, Sweet Soul Music: Voices from the Shadow. It's been out of print for some time now, so I thought I'd post it tonight. Enjoy!

Any album which features True Love Travels On A Gravel Road AND Nickel And A Nail has to be worth hearing!
