Sweet Soul Music: Voices From The Shadows

.com Inspired by Peter Guralnick's great book Sweet Soul Music, this 15-track CD collects obscure singles and album cuts by artists both well-known (Aretha Franklin's cover of the Johnny Ace ballad "My Song") and lost to the ages (the Invincibles' sweet-soul "Heart Full of Love," the gospel-drenched "Crying in the Streets" by George Perkins and the Silver Stars). As consistent as any such set, Sweet Soul Music is a disc that anyone who cares about the genre will listen to hundreds of times with no drop in fascination. --Rickey Wright
