Ebb Tide Vol. 2

Description

Ebb Tide Vol. 2 is a rich CD compilation drawing from the golden era of soul and rhythm & blues, gathering some of the most emotionally resonant voices the genre has ever produced. Etta James delivers her signature slow-burn majesty on ‘At Last’, while Percy Sledge’s reading of ‘If Loving You Is Wrong (I Don’t Want To Be Right)’ is a masterclass in Southern soul vulnerability. The Delfonics bring their lush Philadelphia sound to ‘La-La-La (Means I Love You)’, and Jerry Butler’s velvet-toned take on ‘Moon River’ confirms his status as one of soul’s most sophisticated interpreters. Whether you’re a long-time collector or discovering these artists for the first time, this CD is an essential document of American soul music at its most heartfelt…
