I recently started listening to a collection of the Goldwax singles. Though they specialized in Memphis Soul, they recorded a bunch of other styles including some great R&B and a few Country acts. After listening to the whole set, I pulled my favorites in to this set. As you can imagine, then tend towards funk, but the Memphis Soul has some blues in it as well. I threw in a couple tracks that were not Goldwax recordings just to get a good (almost) hour long mix of goodies. Enjoy.
