From Where I Stand

Back in 1998, The Country Music Foundation teamed with Warner Bros. Records to release From Where I Stand: The Black Experience in Country Music.  The 3-CD box set was divided into three thematic discs - The Stringband Era, The Soul Country Years, and Forward with Pride - which reflected on the immense contributions of African-Americans to country music in 60 songs.  Today, the spotlight shines even more brightly on the black experience in the genre, in no small part due to the release earlier

Life Moves Pretty Fast. The John Hughes Mixtapes offers four volumes of songs from the writer/director's popular

Aretha 4CD Cover

R-E-S-P-E-C-T.  Otis Redding may have written the song, but Aretha Franklin owned it.  The singer was only in her mid-20s when she left Columbia Records after five years and seven albums but she wasted no time in making music history when she signed with Atlantic Records in December 1966.  By the middle of 1967, she'd had long-sought-after hits with "I Never Loved a Man (The Way I Love You)" and "Respect" and was proclaimed The Queen of Soul by a Chicago disk jockey.  Some reports indicate the

Aretha 4CD Cover

It was late in 2015 when audiences across the country watched Aretha Franklin take the stage at The Kennedy Center Honors to salute honoree Carole King.  The undisputed Queen of Soul tore into King, Gerry Goffin, and Jerry Wexler's "(You Make Me Feel Like A) Natural Woman" with blazing intensity and thrilling authenticity.  She had not just sung these lyrics but lived them.  Nearing the song's finale, she simply but defiantly dropped her fur coat to the floor, creating an instant viral moment

Ray Charles True Genius

Ray Charles formed Tangerine Records in 1962 as part of the creative freedom he earned by jumping from Atlantic Records to ABC-Paramount.  In addition to many of his Charles' own recordings, Tangerine issued music from Louis Jordan, Percy Mayfield, Jimmy Scott, Ike and Tina Turner, and other artists championed by The Genius.  The label closed in 1973 when Charles departed the ABC roster, but the Ray Charles Foundation has recently reactivated it for a special 6-CD anthology celebrating its

Roots of Popular Music Box

The history of commercial recorded music stretches back over 100 years and has encompasses the stories of many artists and talents.  One of the biggest figures in this early history was Ralph S. Peer.  The A&R (Artists and Repertoire) and publishing pioneer might not be a household name today, but he made major contributions to many varied musical genres including blues, country and Latin.  Sony Music Latin has recently released a wide-ranging, eclectic 3-CD box set entitled The Roots of
