'Affectionately' referred to as 'wrist-slasher' music, this stuff isn't
for the faint-hearted, 60s Deep Soul in it's rawest form. This is
what's on offer on a recent Kent compilation "You Gave Me A Reason To
Live" named after Big Daddy Green's 1970 ANLA song featured on the
album.
Kent has scoured the archives of some of the smallest 60s labels from
Louisiana. The majority come from Eddie Shuler's ANLA label, and
GoldBand and Tic-Toc subsidiaries, but a few others from Carol Rachou's
La Louisianne and Hub-City subsidiary and J.D. Miller's Soul Unlimited.
I believe that Big Daddy Green "On Bended Knees Begging" may be previously
unreleased as I can find no trace of it other than on this compilation.
It looks like the digital version has only 17 of the 22 tracks from the
full CD version so for the sake of £1.50 buy the CD as it's £9.50 on
Amazon (Click sleeve image for full track listing).
