MILES AWAY/ONE

Description

Compiled by the founder of the Dom Ore label, Miles Away: One is a collection of tracks that spans multiple continents, eras, and genres. Rooted in soul, this compilation features recordings from legendary musical figures alongside perhaps lesser-known soul gems—all beautifully assembled into a single album. The tone is set by Idris Muhammad's spiritual jazz recording, I'm A Believer, before moving on to the modern soul and funk selections around which Miles Away has built its reputation. We have the rare crossover-soul track Yes It's You by Eugene Smiley, the remarkable soul dance piece She's So Good by Solid Gold Revue, the enduring soul funk explosion No Communication by True Transfusion, the gospel-infused Fantasy Ride by Uneda Dennard, and the extended version of Superstar by Ruth Waters. Many tracks appear here for the first time since their original release.
