Launched a year ago this month, the Flashback Soul series features tracks that are at least 10 years old, with many dating back to the 60s and 70s, and covers all manner of soul styles, from classic to blue-eyed to neo soul and beyond. We hope you’ve been enjoying this retrospective and are both re-discovering old favorites and finding anew others.
To enhance your experience of the series, we’ve pulled together the 40 tracks featured thus far into a Flashback Soul playlist on Spotify. It’s an interesting sonic journey through over four decades of the music we SoulTrackers love! Have a listen, and be sure to stop by periodically, as it is updated with additional featured tracks. Enjoy.
