A guide to today’s top chitlin’ circuit Rhythm and Blues artists that includes features and reviews. Southern Soul borrows freely from Country, Gospel, Rock, Pop and many other influences. It is not simply the ‘Blues,’ with which it is often confused, and which traces its roots through a decidedly narrower, less danceable, lineage. Probably the most accurate synonym for ‘southern soul’ is ‘Country Soul.’ Southern Soul is more laid-back and low-tech than the ‘Urban’ sound that dominates today’s R&B charts. It’s more liable to include a narrative, it’s less likely to be frenetic, it’s grittier. Send service, press releases and other ‘hard copy’ material to the above address. We’d love to hear from you!
