S.O.S.: Save Our Soul by Marc Broussard (CD)

Blue-eyed soul music has got a new crown prince - and he's on a mission. Marc selected powerful chapters from the soul bible for his new album and Vanguard Records label debut. Broussard plumbed the vaults of historic labels like Motown and Stax to create 11 performances that are sweltering and incendiary. Featuring songs originally recorded by Al Green, Stevie Wonder, Otis Redding, The Staple Singers, The Pointer Singers, Blood, Sweat &Tears, Donnie Hathaway, Marvin Gaye & Tammi Terrell, Bobby Womack, Rance Allen and more. One original track, Marc's "Come In From The Cold" fits seamlessly into the disc's distinguished set list and, in keeping with the rest of the album, brings a new-school sensibility to an old-school style.
