They Say...
Sophisticated R&B wasn't the only thing that Detroit artists made in the '60s. Some performers whose music was deemed too raw for the Motown pop machine found their way to other labels like Stax. That was the case for the three artists featured on this anthology of Detroit soul: J.J. Barnes, Steve Mancha, and Darrell Banks, who also did some recording on Atlantic subsidiary Atco. Banks gets the bulk of the cuts here, 12 out of the 25, and displays a fine shouting style and energetic delivery. Barnes is especially effective on the mono cut "Got To Get Rid Of You," while Mancha's "Don't Make Me A Storyteller" and "Just Keep On Loving Me" are prime country-soul workouts.
