"Love doesn't always work out right, whether you make it to heaven or not. That's the bottom line, and no genre has ever celebrated a more adult approach to such matters, or filled the world with so much passion for it, than southern soul. The story is here".
"Compilers Tony Rounce and Dean Rudland modestly avoid calling this "The" Southern Soul Story, but it does that job magnificently, with 75 tracks on a 3-CD box set that's surely one of the best compilations ever, in any genre".
