The MOJO Best Compilation AwardPresenter: Corinne Bailey Rae

Winner: Take Me To The River - The Southern Soul Story (Kent)

Collected by: Stax/Atlantic legend William Bell

A Southern Soul Story CD from Kent We couldn’t let this southern soul release pass without mention, so good is the material on offer. Take Me to the River: a Southern Soul Story 1961-1977 is a 3CD set from Kent that chronicles the golden era of southern soul. With 75 tracks on offer, from the likes of Joe Simon, James Carr, Otis Redding, William Bell, and Joe Tex, and featuring songs recorded in studios such as Broadway, Royal, Stax, and Muscle Shoals, it shows off the astounding quality of the music made in this tradition of American musical history. As it covers many classic songs 'Take Me To The River' is a compilation suitable for those unfamiliar with the sound, but it also includes a few tracks available on CD for the first time to whet the appetite of the connoisseurs. Each track has an accompanying essay to give the reader plenty of background information, as well as the usual label and artist shots that are compulsory for this sort of release. Source

LIVE IN NEW YORK CITY!

William Bell” Live In New York City”CD review

This particular CD is just the kind of Live! music project that avid music collectors can’t wait to get a hold of & brag about how rare of a find it is, how hard it was to obtain, all the while keeping it cautiously within arm’s reach of his audience, only to be locked away, never to be seen again.

Not this time collectors! This one is for the masses! The only thing rare about this is that it is the only Live! Release from Mr. Bell who gives a stellar vocal performance the whole way thru.

The 1977 hit ”Easy Comin’Out, Hard Goin’In” kicks off the experience, with a brief vamp of the Tyrone Davis hit” Can I Change My Mind” effortlessly mixed in.”Everyday Will Be Like A Holiday” follows like you’ve never heard it before! Of course that’s the beauty of Live! renditions. Plenty of extensions, ad-libs, tempo changes, etc,…

When I say you’ve never heard it like this before, I’m not exaggerating.”Everyday,…” is greased, teased,& ultimately pleeeeezing to the ear.

Now you’re primed for the anthemic ”I Forgot To Be Your Lover”/”You Send Me”medley, laced with some really nice Hammond B-3 organ playing & some” words to the wise” from W.B.,…”if you got a good thing ,don’t go around braggin’about your good thing, cause everybody’s looking for a good thing,…”. A tribute to The Big ”O”, the late great Otis Redding is in order for the next few selections. Of course, W.B. penned & recorded the fitting ”Tribute To A King ”in remembrance of Otis shortly after his untimely passing. On Live,… he borrows & superbly reworks tunes from the ”king’s” catalogue like” Hard To Handle”, ”Fa Fa Fa Fa Fa”, & is joined by former Stax label mate, Eddie Floyd, to perform Mr. Redding’s signature song” Dock Of The Bay” which in itself is well worth the price of admission.

The final selection is appropriately William Bell’s debut single ”You Don’t Miss Your Water ”which is as brilliant as ever, complete with dynamic vocal stylings & a killer saxophone solo.

In summary,… job well done! ”Live In NYC” is the next best thing to being there!

To paraphrase the MC, “THIS IS TRULY WHAT IT’S ALL ABOUT,… THIS IS SOUL MUSIC LADIES & GENTLEMEN,…AT IT’S FINEST! INDEED.
