Sam & Dave - The Definitive Soul Collection


The Definitive Soul Collection, no less. This would be preposterous if it was from artists less than Sam & Dave but it's in fact the title of a series of compilation albums from Rhino and the other artists are fitting too. I sometimes take stock on what I've put up here and what I still really like to upload. It took too long for Sam & Dave to appear, they were in the top of the list of missing artists and I'm glad they're here now. I think I just doubled the awesomeness of this blog with just one post :-)

Super great hot steaming Stax soul but I don't think Sam & Dave really need an introduction. It's not just Sam & Dave you get, there's also Hayes & Porter as main writers and the MG's & the Mar-Keys as the backing band.

I mentioned Rhino already: so there's a bit to read, a few pictures to look at and some details like date and album for the individual songs. The 2 * 15 tracks feature the hits and B-sides but they're often hits too.
