Charlie Whitehead - Anthology 1969 - 73. CD. (Kent - CDKEND 261) The name Charlie Whitehead has near-legendary status in R&B collector circles, and this CD is the first-ever compilation devoted to his work with Swamp. All of it was cut during soul’s golden age, mostly in the American South. And all of it treads a similar path to Swamp’s own trailblazing recordings from the same era, making it a must for anyone who enjoys songs about love, sex, adultery, the folly of American politics, police prejudices, more sex, black-American pride, the stupidity of white supremacy, Blaxploitation movies and, yes, even more sex. Our compilation contains the contents of two whole albums, plus an assortment of rare singles that never made it to LP when first released. Virtually none of these recordings have been reissued on CD before. Kent and the productions of Swamp Dogg are collectively a recipe for success and we’re sure that "Songs To Sing" will waste no time in achieving similar results to our recent CDs by Doris Duke and Irma Thomas, both of which draw largely on the same musical resources.
