Editorial Reviews

While mainstream Soul in the U.S. is into 'parties, champagne and silk sheets', an anchronism has survived down South. Small independent record labels keep producing their 'cheating' dramas for a regional market. Here the Blues-drenched stories of Bobby Blue Band or Dicky Williams still have the potential to become hits. Southern Soul reaches down into the depths of human existence. A ritual that demands religious dedication from ist protagonists: gospel-like dramas excessively enact the pain, while proverbs such as "Love Don't love Nobody" touch on the unspeakable. Sobbing backround vocals, dragging horns and morbid church organs accompany the bands descending flight. The guitar may be out of tune, the drums out of time, the arrangement lacking. The message is never lost. Triknot. 2005.
