Vintage 1969-1972 soul by Dionne...and it WORKS

If you ever wondered how Dionne would sound singing R&B tunes during the late 60's and early 70's, this set is for you.



She does a great job. These are not hardcore, gutbucket soul interpretations (although there are a few moments of soul belting when Dionne is feeling it). Rather, it is a well-balanced mix of classic soul and the laid-back elegance that Dionne is famous for. The arrangements are different enough that virtually all of these familiar songs sound fresh and never stale. The production by Chips Moman and Dionne(!) works perfectly.



Rhino Handmade has done another fabulous job on this wonderfully remastered limited edition set: tons of bonus tracks, tons of wonderful photographs from the period, and tons of informative liner notes from the illustrious David Nathan.



Fantastic stuff here, folks...don't miss it.
