Description
The Dells – The Second Time – Vinyl Record
The Second Time is an album by the American R&B group The Dells, released in 1988. The Dells were known for their soulful vocal harmonies and their contributions to the doo-wop, R&B, and soul genres.
Key tracks from The Second Time include “A Heart Is a House for Love,” “Stay in My Corner,” and “Jo Jo.” These songs showcase the group’s smooth and heartfelt vocal performances, which were a hallmark of their sound.
The Second Time may have a high-tech production style, but for the most part, the Dells stick to a classic Northern soul sound on this little-known 1991 release. While their next album, 1992’s I Salute You, would try to balance urban contemporary and soul considerations, urban elements aren’t very prominent on The Second Time.
Longtime Dells aficionados will be pleasantly surprised to hear how much ballads and slow jams like “That’s How Heartaches Are Made,” “Can We Skip That Part,” and “No Win Situation” sound like their magnificent recordings of the 1970s. Marvin Jr.’s passionate baritone had held up well, and he still believed in going that extra mile. Though not quite as strong as the Dells’ ’60s and ’70s hits, this is an excellent album that’s definitely worth trying to find.
The Dells had a long and influential career in the world of R&B and soul music, and while The Second Time may not have been as commercially successful as some of their earlier releases, it represents a continuation of their soulful and harmonious style.
Fans of classic R&B and soul music appreciate The Dells for their timeless contributions to the genre, and albums like The Second Time serve as a reminder of their enduring talent and musical legacy.
