Rhythm and Blues – Raw, Real & Rockin’

This is where it all started – the unfiltered sound of black America in the ’40s and ’50s. Rhythm and Blues before it was polished into soul or funk. Horns, howls, and hypnotic grooves – all on CD and vinyl.

Foundations of Soul & Rock

From Ruth Brown and T-Bone Walker to obscure 45s that never made it big – this is essential listening for anyone who wants to feel the fire of R&B in its purest form. Historic, rhythmic, and 100% real.
