The Montesas "Midnight Beat" 2003

Second album from the German Beatmeisters! 17 tracks between Beat, Twist, Shake and Garage!Die Montesas sind eine Beatband. Punkt. Beat und auch ein wenig Shimmy, und ab und zu etwas Shake und Twist. Meistens auf englisch, selten auf deutsch. Die vier Musiker haben gleiches Bühnenoutfit und spitze Schuhe an. Auf der Bühne wird wild abgehottet. Manchmal singen sie zu dritt dreistimmig. Es gibt zwei Saiteninstrumente in der Band: eine Elité-Bassgitarre und eine Guild-StarfireIII- Gitarre. Niemals sind Effektgeräte dabei. Verzerrer ist doof und wird natürlich auch am Verstärker NIEMALS eingestellt. Dazu gesellt sich ein Schlagzeug und eine Weltmeister-Orgel, welche ein seltenes Produkt aus dem ehemaligen deutschen Osten ist und über eine immense Durchschlagkraft verfügt. Manchmal sind auch diese beiden Mädchen dabei: die Montesitas! Sie schwingen wie wild die Rasseln und singen mit. Dabei wird der Pony-Ride getanzt und die männlichen Konzertbesucher sind ganz aus dem Häuschen! Die Montesas machen Logenmusik für Leute aus der Beatloge. Aber auch Leute, die noch nie was von der Beatloge gehört haben, staunen, und fangen an, diese Art Musik zu lieben. Sie klingt alt... so ende Fünfzies, Anfang Sechzies... bisschen wilder vielleicht... aber so wunderlich neu! Ja. Denn Niemand macht heutzutage so eine Musik! Von frühesten Kinderjahren an, haben diese vier jungen Kerls ja gar nichts anderes gehört als Rockabilly, Ska, Rocksteady, Beat und Soul. Erst nach wilden Experimenten in verschiedenen Bands fanden sie sich als "Montesas" zusammen um fortan die Beatlogenmusik einer breiteren Öffentlichkeit zugänglich zu machen. Viele hundert Konzerte in den renommiertesten Clubs im ganzen alten Kontinent haben sie nun schon gemeistert und Gastspiele auf den größten 60´s-Festivals mit Bravour absolviert: Larsen-records Festival (F), After Dark Garage Festival (F), Festival Beat (I), Wipe-Out-Weekend (E), Bieler-See-Open Air (CH), Summer Safari (D), Cosmic Trip (F) usw... Immer öfter bringen die Montesas ein eigenes Vorprogramm mit: die Kapelle "the Black Knights" aus Rumänien. Mit ihrem primitiven Trash-a-billy schaffen die BLACK KNIGHTS einen interessanten Kontrast zu den gekonnten Musikmanövern der Montesas. - from: http://buntundkahl.deThe Montesas:

This is a real loose and great Doug Sahm show that I wanted to share with you folks. The bit rate is not the highest, but for an audience recording it is top notch. Clocking in at well over 3 hours long, with a great set list and Doug in extra, fine form.

PS. I held off sharing this in hope that someone would have a flac or 320 of this show, but it's too good to hold off forever, so here it is.

For pure soul testifying, no one compares to Solomon Burke. He earned his title -- "King of Soul" -- by bringing the gospel fervor of the Southern preacher to his performances, and no recording proves his command over an audience quite like Soul Alive! Recorded in 1983 in Washington, D.C., the set proves Burke had lost little from his '60s heyday; he works through nearly all of his hits, spurring on the concert-goers as though they were the ones performing instead of him -- in fact, some of the women are heard screaming so often they should've been credited. Burke shines most when leading the faithful through "I Can't Stop Loving You," pausing for a lengthy monologue before reprising the song and leading into a devastating finish. Elsewhere he works through deeply felt country-blues-gospel fusions like "I Almost Lost My Mind," "Take Me (Just as I Am)," "He'll Have to Go," and "Down in the Valley."- John Bush

For me, this album is right up there in those "best live album" discussions. From a live show in Washington D.C. in 1981, but not released till '84. Pure joy.

Thanks for Solomon Burke.

For all the Holy Modal Rounders fans out there (and there seem to be quite a few) here's another one. 'Too Much Fun' is from 1999 and is typical Rounders fare. That is, you get a new version of 'Euphoria' and a bunch of other songs, all of which are just as delectable. Enjoy!

Does anybody have Michael Hurley's 'Long Journey' from 1976. I have my old LP but would love it in @320 for my portable player. Thanks in advance.

25 years ago, I first read Peter Guralnick's "Sweet Soul Music," a must for any soul lover. The funniest, by far, chapter in the book is Solomon Burke's. SB's Wikipedia article is worth reading, also.

In the last 5 years of his life, my wife and I were privileged to see him three times. I was surprised, during the first concert, that he didn't do "Everybody Needs Somebody to Love," my favorite.

The second time, my written request on a note managed to make it into Solomon's hands. He put on his reading glasses, looked at it, smiled, and got his band jumping as the Bishop went into the wonderful opening of this wonderful song.

The third time, he played it again, (I gave myself a secret pat on the back on the back) and I remained in awe of very arguably the greatest voice, and technique, in soul.

And he died on the road, in a limo, on the way to yet another sold-out gig.
