SUNNY & THE SUNLINERS – MR. BROWN EYED SOUL
Insanely wonderful work from the Texas scene at the end of
the 60s – a huge collection of the English language soul songs of Sunny &
The Sunliners! The group first hit national fame in the earlier part of the
60s, with a sweet falsetto crossover hit – but as the decade moved on, they
balanced their music equally between Spanish and English tunes – the former in
more of a Tex-Mex mode, the latter in a wonderful version of sweet soul! In a
way, Sunny's work here is a lot like Joe Bataan during his Sweet Soul years – a
heartbreaking blend of Latin roots and east coast soul – produced with a rootsy
vibe that really gets right to the heart of the matter! Sunny's work has never
been reissued properly – especially the soul tracks from this period – and the
collection is an ear-opening listen all the way through – and one that should hopefully
put the group right up there with material by The Delfonics, Moments, and other
sweet soul groups. Titles include "Smile Now Cry Later", "Put Me
In Jail", "Should I Take You Home", "Cross My Heart",
"Get Down", "Rain Makes Me Blue", "Outside Looking
In", "My Dream", and "Open Up Your Love Door". ~ Dusty Groove
SEAL - STANDARDS
British soul legend Seal returns with his new album,
‘Standards’ - combining his unique voice with some of the greatest jazz
standards and swing classics ever written. “I’m so delighted to announce that
my brand new album, Standards, is out November 10th. This is the album I have
always wanted to make. I grew up listening to music from the Rat Pack era, so
recording these timeless tunes was a lifelong dream.” “It was a true honour to
collaborate with the same musicians who performed with Frank Sinatra and so
many of my favourite artists, in the very same studios where the magic was
first made - it was one of the greatest days of my recording career.” Seal’s
new album brings the glamour of Old Hollywood straight to the present, and his
signature, velvety warm vocals bring to life classics made popular by Frank
Sinatra (such as Luck Be A Lady, I’ve Got You Under My Skin and It Was A Very
Good Year), Ella Fitzgerald (I’m Beginning to See The Light) and Nina Simone (I
Put A Spell on You). Available on CD, Deluxe Signed CD, and Vinyl.
