Outsiders of the U.K. soul collecting scene might expect a
CD with a title as generic as Masterpieces of Modern Soul to
have songs by the likes of the Temptations or Al Green, or
maybe Anita Baker and the like if it's much more "modern."
But no, we're talking the cliquish British soul fiend
culture here, where modern soul, according to the liner
notes, is evidently a quite distinct animal from Northern
soul. Modern soul, y'see, focuses on the smoother sounds of
'70s soul, as opposed to Northern soul, which favors the
more dance-oriented soul tunes of the '60s. It's all a bit
befuddlingly hair-splitting for more general (or all
American) listeners, who like soul music depending on how
they like it, not what decade it's from. If you like '70s
soul enough to pick up collections of obscurities from the
genre, though, you could do worse than this two-dozen-strong
anthology of tracks. Some of these singers were marginally
popular, like Millie Jackson, Ted Taylor, Vernon Garrett,
Denise LaSalle, Ronnie Walker, and Garland Green, but the
majority of them aren't going to be known to any listeners
except the most dedicated specialists. The tone is more
pleasantly grooving than compulsively memorable, to be
honest. But most of these are decent enough slices of '70s
soul, often strongly reflecting trendy early-'70s sweet soul
sounds from Philadelphia, though a few tracks postdate the
mid-'70s, with one hailing from as late as 2002. There are
some nice cuts that move away from that vibe, though, like
Debra Johnson's previously unissued "To Get Love You've Got
to Bring Love," which recalls Betty Everett's Vee Jay sides,
though perhaps with more contemporary production; Sam
Nesbit's gritty "Chase Those Clouds Away," which takes some
cues from Young-Holt Unlimited's "Soulful Strut"; and Idris
Muhammad's "I'm a Believer," which with its strong
jazz-gospel flavor is the most distinctive track on the
disc.
Enjoy!
