Free Music Review: okee dokey
Hit: 3 Stars
from the online write up this sounded like it would be better. I was hoping for a more obvious Miami soul dance vibe. it's some lost soul for sure. abit too mellow for me. if you love rare soul then you'll dig it. The Coffin Dragger has spoken.
Eccentric Soul, Vol. 7: The Deep City Label Poster
Possibly the most influential of all the 60s Miami soul label's, the Deep City sound not only changed the Metro-Dade area, but set the tone for disco powerhouse TK's impressive run in the 70s. The singles on Willie Clark and Johnny Pearsall's Lloyd and Deep City label's are Florida's rarest of the rare, and we've collected the best of their four year run here. Includes Betty Wright and Paul Kelly's first sides, the can't-miss-but-did diva Helene Smith, obscure work by Frank Williams & the Rocketeers, as well as a previously unreleased acetate by the Moovers.From the first moments of a falling-down-the-stairs bassline and a gritty guitar from the opening track, the self-doubting dirge "Am I A Good Man?", it's clear the latest compilation in the Numero Group's Eccentric Soul series is yet another gem unearthed. Operating as a kind of mini-Motown with a stable of house musicians and composers, Miami's Deep City Records delivered a modest catalog in the mid-60s. What's clear from the energy of these recordings is that while Deep City may not have had A-listers like Smokey Robinson, Marvin Gaye, or Martha Reeves, there was no shortage of commitment when it came time to deliver a scorching soul workout.
Minus the subtlety of Otis Redding's version, standout vocalist Helene Smith delivers a sincere and emotional "Pain In My Heart." A young Betty Wright, who would score Top 10 R&B hits in the 70s, previews her later success on "Paralyzed." Witty lyrical variations on everyday soul themes also abound, as in Smith's holiday-themed "Willing And Able" which proclaims "I don't want diamonds for Christmas, and I don't want Santa hangin' 'round, unless he's going to bring me you" and Paul Kelly's "The Upset," which treats competition for a lover's affections like Cassius Clay treated Sonny Liston. A real knockout. --Ben Heege
