Can I Be A Witness – Stax Southern Groove – Various Artists

A brand-new collection gathered from the Stax catalogue of southern-flavoured dancers, from soul to funk and in between.

“Can I Be A Witness: Stax Southern Groove” features 11 previously unreleased tracks from such illustrious names as the Soul Children, Little Milton, the Emotions, the Sweet Inspirations, the Nightingales and Frederick Knight, amongst others.

The other nine tracks from artists such as Eddie Floyd, R.B. Hudmon, the Rance Allen Group and Eric Mercury delve deep into the archive, bringing you B-sides, obscure album cuts, dancefloor favourites and originally unissued tracks.

The booklet is well illustrated and comes with an in-depth essay from compiler Dean Rudland.
