Ann Peebles, Billy Preston, Mavis Staples, Irma Thomas, Allen Toussaint - I Believe To My Soul (CD)

(p) & (c) 2005 Work Song, Inc. 

This is a soul record done in a classic mode, not a re-creation of classic soul music. It is a record authentic to where these five great artists find themselves today- and in relationship to each other. It is music steeped in Tradition, but played with no particular reverence for it. This is the first of a series; and there is more to come.

Released in tri-fold digipak with 20-page color booklet w/liner notes
