Barbara Lynn - The Complete Atlantic Recordings

2014 CD collection

from the Texas-born R&B/Soul vocalist / guitarist who has long been considered one of the finest performers of the style known as Southern Soul.

After a brief spell with the Tribe label, Barbara was signed to Atlantic Records in 1967, recording an entire album, HERE IS BARBARA LYNN, which yielded the Top 40 R&B and Top 100 pop charted single, 'This Is the Thanks I Get.' a one-off session with producer/songwriter and keyboardist Spooner Oldham in 1968 spawned six tracks, two of which remained in the vaults for many years. Barbara returned to working with Huey Meaux for her final Atlantic sessions in 1972, which resulted in two singles before the then-mother of three began a hiatus from recording and performing that ended with a 1984 Japanese tour. As it's title implies, THE COMPLETE ATLANTIC RECORDINGS features all 25 tracks Barbara Lynn cut for the label between 1967-72.
