| Express Yourself: Soul in the 20th Century
|
(Universal 583319-2 EU-02 150:-)
Compiler Daryl Easlea has assembled these four CDs thematically, one each devoted to roots, dance, politics and love songs.
"Express Yourself" is chock-full of hits with little to no filler involved. It might not be the ultimate tutorial of soul music, but it's an excellent starting point for those just starting to discover the treasure trove that is African-American music in the 20th century.

| Hathaway, Donny - The Anthology
|
(ATCO 81227-96543 EU-13 400:-)
Don't think "anthology" -- think "new musical discovery" -- as this amazing package features two full CDs' worth of unreleased music from Donny Hathaway -- plus some bonus rare tracks from singles, mono mixes, and key Roberta Flack duets as well!
The most exciting music comes from the unreleased cuts -- work that really goes a long way towards filling out the all-too-short catalog of this legendary soul singer -- and a perfect complement to his classic Atlantic Records albums from the 70s.

| Step by Step - I always wanted to be in the Band!
|
(Victor VICP-64287 Jap-08 225:-)
Quite possibly the greatest soul band ever to come out of Milwaukee – and a tight little ensemble who've got a really great sound! The overall feel of their work is a bit hard to peg – as the group are equally great at mellow midtempo group numbers as they are at tighter, clubbier tunes that snap with a bit more of a horn-heavy sound – and throughout the record there's a really playful feel that shows that whatever the sound, whatever the setting, these guys just had a heck of a great time working with each other! That quality can be heard especially well on the title track "I Always Wanted To Be In The Band" – a great little number that's almost an updating of the TSU Tornadoes sound for the 70s – but the whole set's great, and other tracks move into some great super-dope production that we really love! Titles include "I Am A Lonely Man", "People", "Cool Days Are Out Of Style", "I Ain't Never Gonna Let You Go", and "Cash Money".
