Cheatin' Soul and the Southern Dream of Freedom [Import]

Product Description
This excellent collection is a sister compilation to the recent Dirty Laundry country-soul set, this time focusing on the classic Southern soul tradition of 'cheating' songs. The full range of the ethical spectrum is covered here, from the predatory adulterousness of Ann Peebles's 'Feel Like Breaking Up Somebody's Home' through the other-woman misgivings of Doris Duke's 'If She's Your Wife (You‘re Just a Friend)'; and from the bullish protective instinct of Clarence Carter, defending his territory in 'What Was I Supposed to Do?', to the angry desolation of Bobby Blue Bland on the classic 'I Wouldn't Treat a Dog (the Way You Treated Me)'. The standard is high throughout, with two cuts apiece from headliners like Bland, Joe Tex and OV Wright, and one-off gems from the likes of Sandra Phillips, Janet and The Jays, and Ruby Andrews. This pressing comes packaged in a Digipak. Trinkot. 2005.

Album Details

Listening to One of the Many Local Blues Stations on a Trip Through the Southern States, from Baton Rouge Via Jackson to Memphis and Nashville, it Becomes Clear after Only a Few Songs, that the World Consists of Triangle Love Affairs. That Nothing is Sweeter Than Stolen Love. And that the Shortest Way to Heaven Might Lead You Through Hell. The Voices of Bobby Blue Bland, Ruby Andrews, Clarence Carter and all the Other Heroes of Southern Soul Basically all Tell the Same Stories: In Contrast to the Contemporary Representatives of Silk Sheet and Champagne, Rhythm 'n Blues, Southern Soul is Still Involved in Moral Questions Such as Guilt and Repentance, Remorse and Revenge, Hope and Despair in the Twilight of Love.
