Do you remember the original Soul For Dancers collection from last year? Well, it proved pretty popular – popular enough for Soul For Dancers 2 to become reality on the Fantastic Voyage label.

Once again, this is a CD and vinyl release, with the limited edition vinyl offering 32 ‘highlights’ over two albums, while the CD goes further with 60 tracks over two discs.

As for content, well that’s much the same in style, with Lois Wilson once again digging out early soul and proto-soul rhythm & blues that wouldn’t have been out of place on the sixties club scene.

This time there’s a trip to New Orleans (including a sequence of Chris Kenner, Jessie Hill and Lee Dorsey) and plenty of big names once again represented, including Arthur Alexander, Bobby Bland, The 5 Royales, Solomon Burke, James Brown and Ike & Tina Turner, not to mention Etta James, Tiny Topsy, Della Reece and Ruth Brown and labels such as Minit, Tamla, Atlantic and Stax.

The vinyl track listing is below. As for price, the CD set is £8.99 and the vinyl is £14.99. Both are released on 26th February 2016 and available to pre-order now.
