Product Info
Following up one of Kent's best-received compilations of 2012 was never going to be the hardest of tasks. A great many people wanted to be Where Country Meets Soul and it was always going to be a matter of when they released a second volume rather than if. Sweet Dreams sticks closely to the format established by its predecessor Behind Closed Doors by taking 23 great songs that started life in the world of country music before being successfully reinterpreted for the soul market. This time the repertoire spans a wider period: starting in the 1940s and coming forward to the 70s. The majority of our featured artists are household names in the world of soul yet a significant majority of the featured tracks have never been issued on an Ace or Kent CD before. Full details of who did the original are given in the extensive track-by-track annotation, along with the usual selection of label shots and related ephemera that is a trademark of every Ace / Kent release.
