I got very excited when I saw the words 'black gold' thinking it was the elusive Jimi Hendrix album but alas............

This is a nice comp - however I need to really think of changing the category from
Various Artists - Blues
to
Various Artists - Soul

but that does not actually nail it either, some blues, jazz, soul, and mild psych
