South Texas Rhythm & Soul Revue / Various South Texas Rhythm & Soul Revue / Various CD

2015 collection, the anticipated follow-up to Kent's first volume of 1960's South Texas soul and R&B from independent producer Huey Meaux. This compilation further excavates the overflowing Meaux tape vaults to come up with another 24 shining examples of the Highway 90 Sound (as it's known locally). The artists featured range from internationally known hit-makers to local South Texas stars to terminal obscurities; all share a common bond of excellence. Virtually none of these tracks have been reissued since their original appearance on vinyl up to 50 years ago. Three have never been issued at all. The soul here is a mixture of blue-eyed and black American, all of it passed through the melting pot of styles that bubbled in the Houston area during soul's golden decade.de.
