Before everyone gets too excited about this compilation which admittedly has some classic tracks from the usual suspects (Bobbie Gentry, Allmans, Boz Scaggs, Linda Ronstadt) and pleasant surprises (Joe South's "Hush" & amazingly Cher's "I Walk On Gilded Splinters") there are also significant caveats including some dross (Link Wray way, way past his prime & the pre-Allman Duane & Gregg tracks aren't much to write home about) and some misfiring compiler choices (notably the Anglophilic Big Star who stick out like a sore thumb, post aircrash [!] Lynyrd Skynryd and what is Johnny Cash doing here with a Tim Hardin song?!?). The biggest problem I have though is with the essential omissions considering how relatively few tracks there are on each CD; where is the Marshall Tucker Band [South Carolina] who mixed jazzy flute'n'sax into the southern rock template, ZZ Top [Texas], Tom Petty [Florida], JJ Cale [Oklahoma], and perhaps most of all a decent Lynyrd Skynryd track from their peak period (something like "Ballad of Curtis Loew"?). As ever with Soul Jazz a germ of a really good idea somewhat botched in execution resulting in a bit of a curate's egg; some great stuff yes but also some make-weights and an awful lot missing. Perhaps licensing issues precluded alot of the potentially interesting stuff making the cut but to pass off blatantly inferior stuff like the Link Wray and Johnny Cash tracks as being the "best-of-the-best" (which is what you'd want from a 'sampler' type compilation like this) isn't too smart.

I agree with the previous reviewer but I just wanted to complement the packaging....a nice 'box' sleeve & an informative 66 page booklet...fullmarks to all concerned

Ok - as a piece of history trying to convince the listener of a solid connection between let's say Johnny Cash and Big Star (both not perhaps essentially much to do with Southen Soul music) this compilation may not be 100% convincing. But as a compilation of great music it's quite superb and in these download times it's great to see and hold such a beautiful package. And for me there are many new names here worth investigating.

The booklet's ok.....
.....but the album sounds like a collection of B-sides. More pop/country than "delta swamp rock". You will be hearing a lot of the tracks on this album for the first time, and... Read more

Should be called 'the worst compilation in the world ever'
I read the reviews and bought the album.
