Barbara Green sings "More Where That Came From" for our wonderful album, "Northern Soul 2010", which was released in September 2010, on Centre City Records. It includes a bonus DVD with all 24 tracks of the CD plus 4 extra tracks. At a time when the UK is abuzz with the new feature film "Soul Boy", set against a backdrop of the 1970s Northern Soul Scene, this amazing album brings the Northern Soul sound into the "here and now" with a fresh vibrancy - music which still holds the spirit and feel of the records heard at legendary clubs like the Wigan Casino and the Blackpool Mecca. It features brand new songs from established names famous on the rare soul dancefloors of the UK, stalwart legends like Sidney Barnes, Clem Curtis, Jimmy Thomas, Moon Williams, Jimmy James, D.C. Larue, and Ronnie Walker, and also presents new talent including Fay Jones, Nat Augustin, Lyn Jerrard, and Tahira Jumah. Ever since Sidney Barnes' "Standing On Solid Ground" crossed over to dancefloors everywhere that embrace Northern Soul, these new albums stick two fingers up to the retentive purists, and celebrate the joy and optimism of the best musical form ever created, free from bias and blinkered and sad individuals who won't even listen to a record if it isn't forty years old and sold over a hundred copies when first released. Barbara Green recorded two singles in 1964 for the Vivid label in Chicago, "Young Boy" and "Our Love's No Secret Now", which became cult Northern Soul favorites. "More Where That Came From" is her first recording for a staggering forty six years and was written by me along with Gina Foster and Glenn Keiles. She flew over at her own expense to record and film it, and to get her career back in swing. It's never too late.
