VA Soul Classics: Quiet Storm 70 (1995)

Released when Randy Crawford was 43, "Naked and True" came 16 years after the singer enjoyed her greatest visibility with the Crusaders' 1979 hit "Street Life." At that point in her career, Crawford enjoyed little or no interest from urban contemporary radio. But then, Naked and True is hardly album that goes out of its way to appeal to urban contemporary tastes of the '90s. Much of the time, the CD sounds like it could have been recorded in the late '70s or early '80s instead of the mid-'90s. Dominated by cover songs, Naked and True finds the singer putting her recognizable stamp on R&B hits ranging from the Spinners' "I'll Be Around," Change's "The Glow of Love" and George Benson's "Give Me the Night" to Patrice Rushen's "Forget Me Nots" and Simply Red's "Holding Back the Years."

Digitally remastered two-fer containing a pair of albums from the Soul legend. A Quiet Storm, released in 1975, is now digitally remastered for the first time in more than 20 years, while Smokey's Family Robinson, originally issued a year later, is now on CD for the first time. This release includes a rare bonus track: "An Old-Fashioned Man," a soundtrack single released later in '76 that is also on CD for the first time. Like Volume 1, these classics are housed in a lovingly rendered package with a 24-page booklet featuring restored artwork and detailed annotations, as well as liner notes by U.K. author Peter Doggett.
