Daxwood Records out of North Carolina owned by music maestro Doyle Wood have recorded some real gems over the years. From the Daxwood Studios, Izipho Soul Records are proud to present Xxception To The Rule, a female duo consisting of Vanessia Mathis Holland and Daniela Curry. 

On a 7” for the first time are two songs originally recorded in 1982.
The Sweeter The Juice (Re-Titled for 2024) is an arousing dancer with a potent ‘squelchy’ bass sound and soaring vocals.

On the flip is Angel In Disguise a supreme ballad of it’s era, with Vanessia’s voice shining through; the piano solo by the late Eldridge McMillan is simple yet has so much feeling – Pure SOUL!!

These tracks are featured on a 2011 CD album – Xxception To The Rule ‘Then And Now’. 

Many thanks to Doyle Wood, Vanessia Mathis Holland for for entrusting Izipho Soul Records Iwith their treasured music and to Mick O’Donnell (Soul Discovery) for his guidance and support. 

Finally, Mark Allbones of Grand Vinyl for the fabulous throwback label design and all other logistics!
