Celebrating the rich musical heritage of the American South, Texas Soul '64 is a superb compilation showcasing a collection of rare and hard-to-find soul and R&B recordings from the golden era of the 1960s. Featuring a diverse line-up of artists, the album captures the raw emotion, infectious rhythms, and heartfelt performances that helped shape the foundations of modern soul music.

It's an essential collection for collectors, DJs, and anyone looking to explore beyond the genre's biggest names, uncovering forgotten classics that remain every bit as compelling today.

Dancefloor energy arrives with Mr. Lee & The Cherokees' Party Time, while Ernie K-Doe brings his unmistakable New Orleans style to My Mother-in-Law (Is In My Hair Again).

Side B continues with standout performances from Jackie Verdell, James Davis, and Miss La-Vell, before the collection concludes with memorable tracks from The Mustangs, Reuben And The Chains, and Oscar Perry, rounding off an outstanding survey of classic Southern soul.
