VA • Genuine Excello R&B

Review

Jay Miller's Nashville-based Excello Records generated a sound as distinct as any in the history of modern American pop music, favoring an echo-laden, rustic, and swamp-tinged approach to blues, R&B, and gospel that makes every Excello side immediately identifiable. This generous compilation features several rare tracks from Miller's vaults, including such highlights as Silas Hogan's delightfully loose-limbed "Go on Pretty Baby," the odd (and completely compelling) submerged feel of Jimmy Anderson's take on "Frankie and Johnny," a busy and proto-funky "We Gonna Rub" from Joe Johnson, and Slim Harpo's classic "Rainin' in My Heart."

Revisar

Excello Records, con sede en Nashville, generó un sonido tan distinto como cualquier otro en la historia de la música pop moderna americana, favoreciendo un enfoque del blues, el R&B y el gospel cargado de ecos, rústico y teñido de pantano que hace que cada lado de Excello sea inmediatamente identificable. Esta generosa compilación incluye varios temas raros de las cámaras acorazadas de Miller, entre los que destacan el deliciosamente suelto "Go on Pretty Baby" de Silas Hogan, la extraña (y completamente convincente) sensación de inmersión de Jimmy Anderson en "Frankie and Johnny", un ocupado y protofunky "We Gonna Rub" de Joe Johnson, y el clásico de Slim Harpo "Rainin' in My Heart".
