VA - Cold Cold Heart: Where Country Meets Soul Volume 3 (2014)

Where Country Meets Soul has proved to be one of the most popular series on Kent. The two earlier volumes were highly acclaimed and sold in quantities that demanded a third. Of equal quality Cold Cold Heart arrives this month to great anticipation from all who bought the others. The repertoire covers a five-decade time span in soul, while the songs come from nearly eight decades of country music. Many selections come from artists who regularly looked to country for their sessions, while some of the featured names will no doubt surprise many people. As always, the booklet is crammed with relevant images and features a detailed breakdown of who wrote and who cut the songs first. Many of the tracks are making their first appearance on a UK CD.
