Product Description

CD Description

* It has been some time since Kent has championed a soul ballad collection. Southern soul has been well served but the general great soul ballad has usually been compiled as part of label stories that majored in dance music and soul fans who don't boogaloo may have decided to give them a miss.

* The songs and performances on this CD are very strong indeed and though it's not an "ultimate" package it is really excellent music with some recordings that will surprise and impress even the most die-hard collector.

* 45s by the Ravins, Austin Taylor and Ray Pollard are very scarce and extremely expensive because of the interest in their flips by Northern Soul collectors. Little Ann, the Shaladons and Hesitations tracks have only previously been available on relatively obscure Kent CDs.

* To tantalise dedicated fans, Kent have added four tracks that have never been on CD before. The previously unissued Jeanette Jones track is a major find. Austin Taylor, Danny White and the Quotations show the world how New Yorkers could deliver terrific soul ballads too, the latter sounding unbelievably fresh from the recently found master tape.

* A few tracks of stand-out deep soul had been on CDs that are now deleted so this was the perfect CD to place the Charmells, LV Johnson and Johnny Gilliam tracks.

* It's also the best of Kent, so killer ballads by Lolleatta Holloway, Act 1, Sam Dees and Jaibi (the single version from master tape for the first time) reflect on what a great slow soul history Kent has.

Deep Cheese 3 Oct 2010

By Mulwharchar TOP 1000 REVIEWER

Amazon Verified Purchase

Anyone expecting another dose of heart-wrenching deep soul along the lines of Kent's 'Dave Godin's Deep Soul Treasures' series, 'Our Turn To Cry' or 'When A Man Cries' CDs will be sorely disappointed with 'Deep Shadows'. A fair chunk of the tracks date from the mid 70s, when soul was becoming a bit too slick and formulaic for its own good, and even the 60s sides are mainly from the uptown rather than the downhome end of the soul spectrum. There's some overlap with the 'Dave Godin' volumes in The Shaladons' version of Kenny Carter's 'Showdown' and yet another mix (the fourth released) of Jaibi's 'You Got Me' and whilst 'Deep Shadows' is certainly listenable, it lacks the emotional punch of the other Kent compilations mentioned; I would have preferred less smooching and more testifying.
