Famed as one of the tight-knit group of musicians the Funk Brothers, who played on the vast majority of Motown's 60s records, Jack Ashford was the percussionist and vibes player who augmented that infectious beat so successfully. After his time at Motown he co-founded Pied Piper Productions with Shelley Haims and when that folded in 1967 started his own Just Productions. The infectious beat continued to propel many of their releases but the main songwriters - Jack, Lorraine Chandler and George Rountree - added great new melodies and well-crafted songs and then a big injection of Motor City funk. They unearthed talented singers like Eddie Parker, Sandra Richardson and the Smith Brothers and even employed Jack's own voice. Parker's 'I'm Gone' and 'Love You Baby' are considered the epitome of ampheta-soul by UK devotees, who have adored the records since the early 70s. The Smith Brothers' output is all high class and their full take of 'Things Won't Be The Same' (which shares the backing track of Sandra Richardson's 'After You Give Your All') is available for the first time. Similarly the new version of Jack Ashford's recording 'I'll Fly To Your Open Arms', by the Family Brick, debuts here; it is a masterful slice of sophisticated, uptempo Detroit soul. Then a new singer in the city, Billy Sha-Rae's 'The Story Of My Life' sees it's first vinyl outing and the mysterious Ray Gant & Arabian Knights' reading of 'Don't Leave Me Baby' is considered the ultimate rendition of this superb song. Al Gardner knew Jack at Sport/Boss Records and his 'Sweet Baby' has been a big collector's item for decades. Also, from the late 60s comes a terrific uptempo version of 'I Need Your Love (To Satisfy My Soul)', originally only known as an acetate by the Stylists; it was later cut at a slower pace by Lee Rogers on Premium Stuff. The LP is rounded off by Jack's own take on 'Let Me Take Care Of Your Heart', a remarkably fine recording that the Smith Brothers would later cover on a Shield 45.

Fae Courts with High Intrigue
Format: Kindle
This book is one that just builds and builds and then surprises you to no end. You may think you know the villains and then you are jolted in another direction. Princess Reyna is a real gem, strong of character, a fierce fighter, and loyal to her family and kingdom. Just when you think she and Lorcan, well you know, the plot is flipped. Can't wait to see where this goes in book two.

Slow, sorry but good
Format: Kindle
This was a slow moving book. Lots of character pov chapters, lots of superfluous descriptions and endless courtly appearances stalled this book to start. Once you get into the heart of the story, it takes off. Before you know it the book is done. My favorite character is Reyna. She is so strong. She is true to herself. She gets into a lot of trouble with her headstrong ways but it's entertaining. I have high hopes for Lorcan. He is honorable to a fault. Thane had turned out to be better than I thought but i still don't like him. Eislin is useless. Great plot twists at the end. I'm looking forward too book 2.

Very detailed! Beautiful world building! Strong Heroine!
Format: Kindle
Starts off a little slow and confusing with different POV’s, but starts to all come together towards the middle to make an elaborate plot line and makes it all worth it. Beautiful world building and attention to detail as well as great writing. The cliffhanger was gut wrenching! Can’t wait for the next book!

Interesting
Format: Kindle
This was a very captivating book once you got into it thoroughly. But the third person perspective was a bit hard to get used to. But as you got into it and followed the different characters, it was interesting and filled with intrigue, conflict and forbidden love. I can’t wait to read the next one and to complete the series.

OUTSTANDING
Format: Kindle
This was very, very good. The world is vast and characters are complex. There is a good plot with a whole lot going on. This is well written. Good twists and turns and some heart breaking moments. You will love these characters, they have heart and loyalty. I am hoping that there will be several more books. We've yet to see anything from the Sea Court but only a mention of them here and there. The Wood Court was given a quick couple of scenes, and only as far as some warriors, we've yet to enter their court and the Shadow Court, I'm not sure if they will be a force for good or bad, but they definitely will play a much bigger role moving forward. This is primarily the Ice and Air Courts. Told in multiple views, which I loved, it gives you a chance to see things from different eyes. There's alot of political maneuvering and deception. I loved it and will pick up the next book as it becomes available. If you like The Fae and the courts, you should love this. I think the author has mucn in store for us.
