Bob Holmes' Nashville Soul - New Kent Records releases

View full article

This is a brilliant release that has a broad spread of Northern, Deep, Modern and Southern soul.  Don't miss this one.

Was a pleasure to contribute to the notes on this CD. Some superb unreleased recordings and lesser heard tracks; really showcases the diversity of Bob Holmes' talent within musical styles and across the decades. Thoroughly recommended.

 

Freddie North "Don't Make Me Look So Bad" & Wendell Watts were the winners of this disc for me all essential tracks anyway but those 2 had repeats on my home system the hairs were up on my neck which is a rarity itself these days i highly rate this cd & recommend for real soul fans.

Thanks ady & the kent team for all the hard work,

Kind regards,

 

Another essential compilation, Ace/Kent just keep coming up with the goods.  This one quality throughout as you would expect and again a mine of information in the booklet.

Regarding Freddie North's music on this compilation, they have issued a dedicated CD to him this month too which is also great.

great it is too, as you rightly say

Wonderful comp, and grateful as always for the liner notes.

According to the original release, the Ruthie track is lifted from an album, "Just for love". Was that ever released? The only other release I can find on Guiding Light Records out of Wisconsin is Bob Fisher, "Lucifer is back in town", also released in 1980. Was there anything else released or just stored away in the can from this period?

Appreciate any help.

Late picking this one up, but so glad I finally have. 

Of the unissued tracks Eddie Frierson "You never had it so good" is the winner and simply fantastic to these ears.

Packed full of quality tracks, just an outstanding compilation once again from Ady and the guys at Kent.
