Product Description
Kent are pleased to continue their travels through Texas music with the first of several compilations of fantastic 60s soul and R&B from the Lone Star State. Texas Southern Soul has a unique sound and extends into many other styles of music that are peculiar to the area. All of the recordings featured here were cut in South Texas mostly in and around the Houston area between 1961 and 1969 by Huey Meaux, a fantastic talent-spotter who found and recorded some of the best artists to emerge from the audio hotbed of South Texas in the 60s. Some of the best-known featured artists here include Johnny Adams, Johnny Copeland, Barbara Lynn, Jackie Paine and Jean Knight of Mr Big Stuff fame. Texas soul music sees no colour and our musical melting pot also includes some blue-eyed soul from Warren Storm, brown-eyed soul from Sunny Ozuna and the Sunliners and even pink-eyed soul from albino brothers Johnny and Edgar Winter, doing their thing here under the alias of the Insight. The original demos of the soul classics Neighbour Neighbour and You'll Lose A Good Thing will be a huge draw for collectors, but they will by no means be the only ones here. Very few of these tracks have been reissued, and the few that have are mastered from fresh tape transfers of the original Crazy Cajun tapes made by Ace's Alec Palao and Tony Rounce in March 2010.
