This second volume of Sound of the Grapevine features another 24 'ModernSoul' favourites selected by John Anderson and the team at Grapevine Records. As with Volume 1, this collection features a mixture of acknowledged 'ModernSoul' classics plus a number of lesser-known sides and previously unissued masters which have been rescued from the vaults after gathering dust for so many years.

Although the golden days of soul music are long gone, many of these lost or forgotten gems have matured with the passing of time and some sound better now than they ever did. Famous names are featured here alongside undergound heroes and total unkowns, many of whom will have no idea of the belated interest in their old flip sides and flop records.

Artists such as Bob Relf, Johnny Moore, Corey Blake, Richard Caiton. Tommy Tate, The Jones Brothers and Tony Owens are well aware of their overseas followings but others disappeared into obscurity or passed away before the unexpected news could reach them. And so we dedicate this album to those who never found out that their music really did mean something to someone after all.
