4.0 out of 5 stars A Nice Surprise - Great Collection, June 14, 2009

This review is from: Motown's Blue Evolution (Audio CD)

This is a very good comp. The focus here is on soul and blues from the Motown label but this is not the stuff you expect from Motown and the 60's soul hits. What we have here are tracks from Mable John, Sammy Ward, Amos Milburn, Earl King, Arthur Adams and Luther Allison. Much of it is more soul than blues but only a few cuts have any strings and nearly every track is enjoyable and some are really good. This was a surprise for me because I didn't realize that Motown had released stuff by all of these artists. Definitely worth adding to your collection - this is quality music, some of it unreleased until this CD came out. Good notes by Bill Dahl. Buy it!!
