Various - Country Soul Sisters 2 – Women In Country Music 1956 to 1979



The tough, but tender ladies of 60s and 70s country music – sweet, soaring and soulful tunes from a bunch of women who'd eventually crossover to mainstream superstardom – and others who are mostly beloved these days to us vintage honky tonk and country soul diggers! The Country Soul Sisters series does terrific job of highlighting the strains of soul and county-fied funk rumbling underneath so many great 60s and 70s Nashville productions – something we've tried to convince folks of for years – and beyond doing us that cultural solid, it's a straight-up fantastic batch of groovy music. Vol 2 is even better than the first – with tunes by Dolly Parton, Jeannie C Riley, Loretta Lynn & Conway Twitty, Tammy Wynette, Bobbie Gentry, Jean Shepard, Kitty Wells and many more! Includes Includes "Little Town Square" by Jeannie C. Riley, "Color Him Father" by Linda Martell, "The Bargain Store" by Dolly Parton, "My Baby Walked Right Out On Me" by Wanda Jackson, "Okolona River Bottom Band" by Bobbie Gentry, Linda Ronstadt's country chanteuse take on Dylan's "Baby, You've On My Mind", "I'm Alone" by Jean Shepard, "Your Ole Handy Man" by Jan Howard, "I Never Said I Love You" by Barbara Mandrell, "If I Can't Be Your Woman" by Lynn Anderson and more.

I'm guessing this is gonna be gravy.

So , I got this record a few days ago . It's not bad . Like I said in the who still buys wax thread , it's definitely more country than soul . Although there are a few tracks that are pretty funky and / or soulful . I usually have a very hard time finding something I like about a country song , but I feel like the tracks that lacked in soul still had redeeming qualities . Some were funny enough that I liked it , a few were just different enough to catch my attention , and most of the other songs just had something that I could enjoy about it . And ... One or two were just not right for me at all . Overall , I like this album , but don't recommend it to anyone that doesn't think that they can get past the fact that its country.
