banksfamily.jpgThe long-awaited second volume in Kent's Artistry In Soul series is finally here!  Considering the first volume, Eddie & Ernie's Lost Friends was one of the greatest soul compilations ever, expectations are high. The Larry Banks' Soul Family Album exceeds them all with its mix of deep soul (Kenny Carter's "I Can't Stop Laughing") and uptempo scorchers (Geminis' "Come On Act Right"). This release stakes a strong claim for Larry Banks, who wrote 23 of the 24 songs on this comp, as one of the most unsung composers of his genre.
