Candi Staton (Southern Soul/R&B) Compilation
Posted by: Soldevere on 16 November 2004
A few months ago, I picked up Astralwerks's compilation of Candi Staton's late-sixties to early-seventies output, recorded (mostly) in Muscle Shoals, Alabama.
(IMO, the songs are just as good as Aretha Franklin's stuff, but are more raw and funky --and not totally overplayed.)
All 20 or so tracks are great; if you don't have it already, I encourage you to check it out!
Best,
Joe
