Critic Reviews

The Wire (p.60) - "[T]he variety and quality of the material showcased here is extraordinary..."
Mojo (Publisher) (p.120) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "[I]t's the little-known artists with the should-have-been-heard voices that delight most....Check out Helene Smith's gospel funk and sorrowful balladry, The Rollers' excitable squeal and Lynn Williams' deep soul."
Record Collector (magazine) (p.91) - 5 stars out of 5 -- "THE OUTSKIRTS OF DEEP CITY goes even further than its predecessor in tracing Miami's soul roots, trawling the suburbs for gems on local imprints Suncut, Lloyd Records, Concho and many more."
