Texas Soul '68
RSD 2019 release. This is the fifth LP in the highly regarded series on Afro-American music in the Lone Star state covering the year of 1968. By now soul music is fully in the ascendant, with some of the tracks getting funkier and funkier - no blues or R&B any more. So this album continues the tradition of mixing up big star artists with lesser known singers - plenty of uptempo dancers and a few delicious ballads for a change of pace. Definitely the best of Texas 1968! SIDE 1: 1. Grab Your Clothes (And Get On Out) - Minnie Epperson 2. Today's Man - Mark Putney 3. Cold Cold World - Tommy Jackson 4.
