Various Artists: Atlantic Rhythm and Blues, Vol. 6

 

Genre: Soul

Dates: 1966-1969

This disc is the perfect entertainment for, in the words of Bob Marley, a soul shakedown party. In the future, we hope to purchase anthologies for each of the artists featured here on multiple tracks. Until then, this, in the words of Otis Redding, has got-ta got-ta got-ta do, and do it will: THE greatest hits from Atlantic's five greatest soul stars. Flack and Greaves don't belong—they should have given Redding and Tex more tracks—but program around 'em and hear the deep music that the collision of country, gospel, and R&B produced.
