Alabama is home to a broad range of influential musicians and artists, stretching from the blues, to gospel, to rock. But the musical royalty in soul and R&B is paramount, practically insurmountable to beat. The heartbeat of soul music may be traced to Motown or Stax, but Alabama’s FAME Studios —most recently documented in the critically-acclaimed Greg Camalier documentary Muscle Shoals, was where the Staple Singers cut “I’ll Take You There,” where Percy Sledge originally belted “When a Man Loves a Woman,” where Candi Staton pulled off a soulful read of Tammy Wynette’s “Stand By Your Man,” where Etta James fired up “Tell Mama,” where James & Bobby Purify recorded “I’m Your Puppet,” and where Jerry Wexler brought the eventual Queen of Soul Aretha Franklin to record Dan Penn’s golden composition “Do Right Woman, Do Right Man.” Others like Wilson Pickett, Otis Redding and many of the acts at Memphis’s Stax/Volt Records, even rock icons like Paul Simon, Cher, Bob Seger and Leon Russell, would flock to Rick Hall’s campgrounds hoping to capture a taste of that “sweet soul music.” Today that sound pervades the indie soul coming from Gabriel Tajeu. With a unique blend of soul, pop, and jazz, this gifted singer-songwriter has poignantly demonstrated the sound of Alabama on his first two albums, 2013’s Finding My Way and 2015’s Southern Skies. This compilation combs together some of the highlights of both albums and serves as the perfect introduction to his rich library of diverse music. Tajeu’s brother, Ledama, an accomplished trumpeter and one of the chief horn arrangers on both albums, described Gabriel’s sound best. “He doesn’t try to fit into the R&B box or the jazz box. He does it all, which is what separates him from other people who try to stay in one genre of music.” Allen Barlow, a co-producer on Southern Skies, agrees with that assessment: “He spans different genres. He’s got a folky side as well as a good classic R&B side, but he’s adventurous.”
