'THE SOUL SIDES 1965-1970'. A splendid double-CD! Widely acknowledged as one of the wildest performers of the 1960s, Wayne Cochran's renowned showmanship never translated into hit records, but his various recordings for the Mercury, Chess and King labels are nevertheless compelling glimpses of the wild style which wowed clubs audiences across the United States in the latter half of the '60s. The purple period of this outrageous blue-eyed soul man's career is documented on the first disc of Ace's 2CD anthology, 'Goin Back To Miami', which collects the choicest sides the singer cut in the last half of the '60s, including prime cuts from his eponymous 1968 album, and a dozen tracks completely new to CD, including several unissued titles. The second disc of this package is an amazing find from the King vaults. It's a full live-in-the-studio document of Cochran's Vegas routine, complete with the singers funky downhome patter, and his band CC Rider's takes on numerous Stax and Motown items. Complete with detailed liner notes and plenty of eye-popping illustrations, 'Goin Back To Miami' is the definitive document of this great entertainer's golden era.
