 Release.Info :
These two dozen tracks aren't masterpieces of modern soul. They're just rare
soul recordings spanning the late 1960s to the early '80s -- some of them
previously unreleased, and some of them not first issued until the '90s or 2000s
-- though the bulk of them are from the '70s. You might recognize a name here or
there if you're a big soul fan, but Garland Green and jazz trumpeter Freddie
Hubbard (here represented by a 1981 cut featuring vocalist Jeanie Tracy) are the
only big ones, even if a few artists (like Laura Lee, the Ovations, and Ty
Karim) had their flashes of success and subsequent cult followings. There's even
a song credited to "Unknown Artist" that sounds about as professional as
everything else on the disc. (And no, the vocal group called the Pretenders is
not the same as Chrissie Hynde's outfit!) It's sort of like what a
subscription-only radio service might play if they had dedicated "Deep Tracks"
programming for '70s soul, very much capturing the feel of '70s soul trends
without presenting any familiar songs. Like numerous other Ace soul
various-artists anthologies with a generally similar mission, there's nothing
that sticks out as a neglected classic or should-have-been hit. Taking it for
what it's worth, however, it's a pleasant and nicely varied selection that
captures the mood of the era, with many of the stylistic signatures of '70s
pop-leaning soul -- the Stevie Wonder "Superstition"-like riff in Lynn Varnado's
"Staying at Home Like a Woman," for instance -- presented and accounted for.
Clipped funk riffs, soaring strings, good-natured singing (even when the topics
are somewhat sad), modest wah-wah guitar, affable gospel-funk-flavored
songwriting, and cooing group harmonizing all crop up too. It's not an
earthshaker, but it's a welcome entry in a CD reissue niche that stripmines '60s
soul far more than soul from the following decade, largely avoiding the
too-slick production afflicting much '70s soul (Garland Green's disco-tinged
1983 cut "Always" being an unfortunate exception).
