Once Pied Piper shuttered in 1967, Ashford set off | | on his own, opening a production company fittingly called Just | | Productions. | | | | Ace's 2016 compilation Jack Ashford: Just Productions collects 24 of | | these tracks cut between 1968 and 1976. None of these were widely | | heard, and six of them receive their first release on this disc, so | | it's essentially a heavy dose of rare soul. | | | | Like a lot of compilations of rare '60s soul, a good portion of this | | comp could be conceivably dubbed Northern Soul -- it pulses to that | | joyous Detroit groove, plus the definition of Northern Soul keeps | | expanding -- but what makes Jack Ashford: Just Productions appealing | | to soul fans with something more than dancing on their mind, is a | | nice selection of smooth ballads and, especially, the high level of | | studio expertise and songcraft exhibited on this record. | | | | This isn't to say that the music is filled with sides that could've | | been hits in an alternate universe; as expertly constructed as they | | are, they're not galvanizing songs, and Ashford remained fond of the | | sound of the '60s well into the '70s. Instead, this disc shows the | | power of craft, with the musicians in Ashford's crew operating on | | nearly same level of skill as their compatriots at Motown and turning | | out singles that captured all the glories of the golden age of studio | | soul. | | | | | | YOU KNOW YOU HAVE TO BUY THIS SHIT IF YOU LIKE IT RIGHT?! | | | | | | . . | | |\/\/| | | |____| | |------------------------------=---=-======-=---=-------------------------| |===/\===============================SOUNDz==========================/\===| '--/__\--------------------------=-2013-2021-=----------------------/__\--'
