There'll Come a Time: SoulMusic, The Second Disc Team for Loleatta Holloway Box Set "We're Getting Stronger"
Stardom had been predicted for Loleatta Holloway from the time she'd emerged as a solo artist with her 1971 recording of Curtis Mayfield's "Rainbow." Her voice, homegrown from singing gospel with her mother's choir and experience on the road with Albertina Walker's group The Famous Caravans, easily transitioned to R&B with her no-holds-barred, heart-on-her-sleeve approach. With two albums under her belt and a Top 10 R&B hit with "Cry to Me" in 1975, she was signed to Salsoul Records by

What's So Funny: Cherry Red, Lemon Collect Brinsley Schwarz Albums on "Thinking Back"
Brinsley Schwarz, the band, may be best-remembered today as the launching pad for singer-songwriter Nick Lowe and as a prime exemplar of the U.K. pub rock scene. The band's studio albums, though, reveal diverse influences and a vibrant sound that more than holds up today.

Today, Rhino announced one more jewel in Mitchell's crown. Her 2022 box set The Asylum Albums (1972-1975) has been reissued with a twist: all four albums

Archie Bell let the world know exactly who he was as he led his group through the "Tighten Up," his 1968 Pop and R&B chart-topping dance record. He explained to author Fred Bronson that the decision to introduce himself was in response to an unkind remark that "nothing good ever came out of Texas."
