2015 release, the eagerly awaited second volume of Pied Piper Productions, the Detroit group of arrangers, writers, artists and musicians who defined the Northern Soul style in their short 1966-1967 lifespan. Easily as strong as the first Pied Piper Presents CD of 2013, this volume has some of the biggest new '60s soul discoveries. Nancy Wilcox provides two with the pounding 'He'll Be Leaving You' and equally classy 'More Than A Miracle'. September Jones' 'Voodoo Madamoiselle' has been the biggest record of the past two years. September's 'You'll Never Know Why' is femme soul perfection. Lorraine Chandler's original version of the James Bond theme 'You Only Live Twice' is even more urgent than the first version we revealed in the 90s and her beautiful 'Lost Without You' shows Pied Piper could produce mesmerizing ballads when required. There are two scorchers from the Cavaliers, great mid-tempo ballads from Freddy Butler and the Hesitations, cameos from Sam E Solo and Mikki Farrow and several thousand words that help paint the picture of the source of some of the best up tempo soul ever made.
