    Exactly, the highlights on this compilation are world class soul masterpieces, but across three CDs none of the 75 tracks gets skipped as there is no fluff here. The packaging is fine and the hardback book is a joy to read. Essential soul.

      I know that this site is for grading the quality of the physical media itself but I just have to say out of all my soul cd comps, this is by far the best. Put this on during a social gathering and set the mood perfectly. No bad songs. Some well-known, some obscure but all hit the spot.

        Edited 2 years ago
        A deep dive into America's most passionate musical genre, albeit in the starker, sexier and more desperate tradition, "Take Me To The River: A Southern Soul Story 1961-1977" is appropriately titled in the sense that it does what so many compilations fail to do - its subtly powerful contents take you on a journey into a largely unfamiliar world from which you emerge feeling breathless and a little dazed, but greatly satisfied and infinitely more knowledgeable. If you have four hours to spare and require further edification of the Memphis soul arena, this high-quality three-disc set will amply deliver the necessary goods. Incontestably aimed at modern collectors upgrading to the digital format in a bid to preserve their incredibly rare 45s, Kent Soul's chronological charting of a type of soul music that was initially rendered simply and performed with barely constrained intensity is as thorough and well-curated as you would expect, tracing its gospel roots and country-imbued formative years and detailing its shift towards rhythm-and-blues sensibility resplendent with solemnity, grit and sadness. Spanning 1961 until 1977, when synthesizers entered the picture, emphasizing groove and danceability, smoothing the rough edges and hard-driving energy of deep soul, the story told across the 75 tracks herein is meandering, expansive and almost outstays its welcome, but the payoff is considerable.
