The compilation begins with the breathtaking ‘What Can You Do When You Ain’t Got Nobody?’ by the Soul Brothers Six; it might just be the most heartbreaking song ever written. Hailing from Philadelphia, The Soul Brothers Six had a very stripped-down sound, only two guitars, a bass and drums which allowed their gospel-drenched vocals to soar to the heavens. On this track, Willie John Ellison’s lead vocal is absolutely explosive and compares favourably with many of soul’s greatest performers. It’s unbelievable and almost criminal that more people have not heard this track.
The late James Carr may just have been the finest singer to ever grace the Earth and his track ‘Hold On’ is one of the stand out tracks on this compilation. While later in his career, Carr’s voice would fade and although he was still releasing records in the 1990s, his vocals clearly weren’t what they once were. Here though, Carr is at his best, offering a majestic baritone rendition of Tommy Tate’s little-known classic. ‘Hold On’ is probably the finest track in Carr’s metier.
‘I’ve Got Enough Heartaches’ by Florida native, Mighty Sam is just an awesome prospect. Sam’s powerful, fiery vocals are backed by a mass choir and a glorious rhythm section, which make this track sound unlike any other on this collection.
