Zaf Chowdhry and Mark Taylor, soul music connoisseurs return with their second installment of the "Americana – Rock Your Soul" series. Volume two continues with another collection of rare unreleased material from the 70’s and 80’s. Just like Vol.1 there are a few hidden gems, however this collection is a bit more upbeat and engaging than Vol.1. That’s quite evident by the opening track "There’s A New Group In Town", by A Breakaway. "Vaya Mulata" by Luc Cusineau is laid back funk with a stirring touch of the Wah Wah guitar. "Give It To You" is sweet atmospheric Disco by RCR. Jaye P. Morgan delivers a smooth ballad with an eighties vibe complete with soothing vocals and synths on "Here Is Where Love Belongs". Overall this is a much more enjoyable set than Vol.1. While they’re aren’t any knockout tracks, there’s enough to keep you entertained for the journey through the archives of the Black American songbook.
