Soul Live Albums
Are you ready to testify to your feeling?
Soul music has come out of combining gospel with the blues and it’s nothing if it doesn’t have passion.
There are live albums here that will take you back to a late night, sweaty club where the band punches hard when it needs to and then lightens up for the singer to pour out his heart and soul… screaming, shouting, singing so sweetly, whispering, hollering… whatever the style, you know the singer feels it.
There are some great live soul albums in this category by Sam Cooke, Otis Redding, Marvin Gaye and many more.
