We're pleased to continue our travels through Texas music with the first of several compilations of fantastic 60s soul and R&B from the Lone Star State. Texas Southern Soul has a unique sound and extends into many other styles of music that are peculiar to the area. All of the recordings featured here were cut in South Texas - mostly in and around the Houston area between 1961 and 1969 by Huey Meaux, a fantastic talent-spotter who found and recorded some of the best artists to emerge from the audio hotbed of South Texas in the 60s. Some of the best-known featured artists here include Johnny Adams, Johnny Copeland, Barbara Lynn, Jackie Paine and Jean Knight of 'Mr Big Stuff' fame.
