Witchcraft In The Air - Detroit Soul 1957-1962

Double CD covering the R&B scene of Detroit just before the Motown explosion. As the neighbor Chicago was ruling the 50's musically with its electric Blues, Detroit wouldn't be as relevant until the end of the decade, when some consumer boom made it possible for new clubs and labels to start and grow, with a lighter sound than Chicago's. Before Berry Gordy put Detroit in the music map of the USA, this was the sound of the Motor City. Thirty three tracks with, among others, Kim Weston, Harvey, Joe Tex, Miracles, Falcons, J. J. Barnes, O'Jays, Marv Johnson, Martha & The Vandellas, Barrett Strong, Contours, Mary Wells, Eddie Holland, Marvin Gaye, Melvin Davis, Spinners, Gino Washington, Nathaniel Mayer, etc. The booklet inside tells the story and shows the facts.

Doble CD que examina la escena R&B de Detroit justo antes de la explosión Motown. Mientras el vecino Chicago se comía el pastel en los 50 con su Blues eléctrico, Detroit no cobró protagonismo hasta finales de la década, cuando la bonanza económica dio lugar a multitud de locales y sellos con un sonido más suave y relajado que el de Chicago. Antes de que Berry Gordy pusiera a Detroit en el mapa musical de los Estados Unidos, éste era el sonido de la ciudad del motor. Treinta y tres temas con, entre otros, Kim Weston, Harvey, Joe Tex, Miracles, Falcons, J. J. Barnes, O'Jays, Marv Johnson, Martha & The Vandellas, Barrett Strong, Contours, Mary Wells, Eddie Holland, Marvin Gaye, Melvin Davis, Spinners, Gino Washington, Nathaniel Mayer, etc. Y, cómo no, un libreto que ilustra perfectamente toda la historia.
