6/22/2023 0 Comments Mary j blige cd 2016![]() First off, the label is releasing Kenneth “Babyface” Edmonds’ masterful soundtrack to Waiting to Exhale, which featured everybody from Whitney Houston to Aretha Franklin to Mary J. R&B has not been a musical genre well served by the vinyl revolution of the past several years, but Real Gone has a couple of absolutely seminal releases coming out in March that will slake the appetite of starved soul fans everywhere. In both cases, the packages are the most comprehensive collections ever afforded the artist. And Real Gone devotes two more two-CD sets to a pair of giants, guitarist-singer-songwriter Dave Mason and honky-tonker supreme (and club owner) Mickey Gilley. Then, the label once again proves its pop bona-fides with a 2-CD set featuring the hitherto largely unavailable Motown recordings of the great Bobby Darin, the missing chapter of a legendary career. ![]() ![]() Kicking it off is some unreleased, funky, live soul-jazz from flautist Herbie Mann and his incredible, late-‘60s band featuring free jazz guitarist Sonny Sharrock…two CDs’ of amazing jams. ![]() You know that old saying about March going in like a lion and going out like a lamb? Well, that would apply to Real Gone Music’s March release schedule, except that this set of titles actually already chewed up that lion and spit him out…it’s that fearless and far-ranging.
