From Soulmusic.com:
• Making its first appearance on CD worldwide, FROM THE DEPTHS OF MY SOUL was the second album on the legendary Blue Note label by jazz-and-soul songstress Marlena Shaw
• After her ‘60s tenure with Cadet Records, the ever-popular Ms. Shaw became the first female vocalist signed to Blue Note. FROM THE DEPTHS OF MY SOUL was the follow up to her 1972 label debut, “Marlena.”
• Recorded in May 1973 in New York City, the album was produced by noted jazz music executive Dr. George Butler who assembled a cast of great musicians including Ron Carter (on bass), Grady Tate (drums) and guitarists Hugh McCracken and Cornell Dupree.
• The song selection on FROM THE DEPTHS OF MY SOUL runs the gamut from R&B hits of the day such as The Main Ingredient’s “Just Don’t Want To Be Lonely” and “Wildflower,” popularized by The O’Jays to “I Know I Love Him” (from the Andrew Lloyd-Weber/Tim Rice musical ”Jesus Christ Superstar”) and Randy Edelman’s “The Laughter And The Tears.”
• The notes by SoulMusic.com contributor Darnell Meyers-Johnson include 2011 quotes from Marlena, whose global appeal continues close to fifty years after she began performing and recording.
