Cairo Records, an imprint of Mississippi Records, presents volume 2 of this rare American soul compilation series. Following the precedent set by Harry Smith's Anthology of American Folk Music, which focused on folk, blues, gospel and old timey, this collection concentrates on soul music recorded between 1955 and 1972—expect plenty of deep ballads and a few rockers, complete with an extensive 12-page liner notes with photos. Gold foil printing on the cover, limited-edition double LP. Music from big and more obscure artists: "Enchanted Sea" by The Counts, "Tainted Love" by Gloria Jones, "It's Raining" by Irma Thomas, "Another Day Gone" by Reuben Bell, "Try Love" by Dori Grayson, "I'll Run Your Hurt Away" by Ruby Johnson and much more.
