BBE strikes again with another massive bit of funk! This time, they've got Pete Rock helping Keb Darge to choose the tracks – and the set's divided up so that the first half's all cuts picked by Pete, and the second's picked by Keb. These two funky selectas go head to head in a wonderful batch of rare tunes – and if you ask us, the listener's the real winner! Titles include "Trespasser (part 1)" by Bad Medicine, "Chains & Things" by BB King, "Soul Lover" by Mutt & Jeffo, "Break It Loose (part 2)" by Onyx, "You're Welcome Stop On By" by Vickie Anderson (Mommie O), "Big Bad John" by Big John Hamilton, "Prelude To Say Brother" by Stark Reality, "We Are The Chosen Few" by The Chosen Few, "Nothin But A Party (part 1)" by The Blenders, "Jones N" by The Soulistics, "Don't Give A Damn" by King Cain & Silvertone Band, "Twine Time" by Seeburg Spotlite Band, "Ca Ba Dab" by Soul Swingers, "Deal With It" by Jimmy Lane & The Incredibles, and "What They Doing (Funkie Junkie)" by Charles Pryor & Power Of Love. Loads of excellent cuts – and almost none of them have been reissued before! (Out of print.) © 1996-2015, Dusty Groove, Inc.

Roy Porter - The Story of Roy Porter Sound Machine (1971-1975) (2012, Tramp)
http://www.discogs.com/Roy-Porter-Sound-Machine-The-Story-Of-Roy-Porter-Sound-Machine-1971-1975/master/479993
One of the coolest, grooviest cats who ever cut a record – an an artist with a really unique conception at the time of these recordings. Roy Porter got his start as a drummer during the bebop years, and worked hard on the LA scene of the R&B and soul scenes of the 50s and 60s – but to us, his crowning achievement is these amazing funk sides of the early 70s – amazingly complex, but right on the money too – and a whole new kind of music that's impossible to describe in words. Roy mixes funky drums with lots of cool jazzy changes – keyboard lines, horn parts, and bass bits that have the frenzy you might find in fusion, yet come across with the down-to-earth vibe of a funky 45 – a killer blend that goes way past jazz, and even most straight funk too – as you'll hear in this sweet little set. The package brings together all the best tracks from these key Porter years – and titles include "Jessica" and "Panama" in both vocal and instrumental versions, plus "Wow", "Funny Feelin", "Funky Twitch", "Love You", "Hense Forth", "Out On The Town Tonight", "Givin Me The Blues", "Waver-ing", "Party Time", and "Hip City". -Dusty Groove, Inc.

Honkers and Bar Walkers Vol. 1 @320
This CD serves as a strong introduction to the tenor sax- (and occasional alto-) oriented R&B music of the early 1950s. It includes a few major hits (most notably Jimmy Forrest's "Night Train" and Tab Smith's ballad feature "Because of You") and six previously unissued alternate takes. Also heard from are Teddy Brannon, Cozy Eggleston, the underrated Jimmy Coe, Doc Sausage (on 1950's "Sausage Rock"), Fred Jackson, Chris Woods, Fats Noel and Paul Bascomb. Overall, it gives listeners a fine sampling of the United and Regal catalogs. Fun and occasionally riotous music.(Allmusic)

THE HOLY MODAL ROUNDERS - The Moray Eels Eat The Holy Modal Rounders '67 @320
In the mid- to late '60s you couldn't get much further underground in the ever-expanding world of rock music than the Fugs -- unless of course you were one of the Holy Modal Rounders, i.e. folk musicians Peter Stampfel and Steve Weber. The Rounders started out in the same early-'60s New York folk and jug scene as Ed Sanders and Tuli Kupferberg, and had crossed paths numerous times. Stampfel and Weber will be eternally remembered for "Bird Song," which was prominently featured in both the movie Easy Rider and its soundtrack. It's also the opening cut on The Moray Eels Eat the Holy Modal Rounders, an album way beyond anything else considered to be "far out" at the time. Released in 1968 on Elektra, the 13 tracks are highlighted by such otherworldly compositions as "Werewolf," "My Mind Capsized," "The STP Song," and "Half a Mind." Unabashed in its own eccentricity, this set is similar to their 1967 ESP release Indian War Whoop in that it combines acoustic traditional American folk, blues, and hillbilly music regurgitated by crazed folkie acidheads experimenting with electric instruments. Following the disc's release, Stampfel said this album reflected producer Frazier Mohawk's musical taste more so than the band's. The Modal duo are assisted, in this case, by playwright Sam Shepard on tambourine, Richard Tyler on piano, and John Wesley Annis on bass and drums. Absolutely essential. (Al Campbell, Allmusic)

HOWLIN’ WOLF - Live Cookin at Alices Revisited '72 @320
The 1972 live album Live and Cookin' at Alice's Revisited is a great document of Wolf toward the end, still capable of bringing the heat and rocking the house down to the last brick. Of special note are the wild and wooly takes on "I Had a Dream," "I Didn't Know," and Muddy Waters' "Mean Mistreater." There are mistakes galore out of the band and some P.A. system feedback here and there, both of which only add to the charm of it all. [A compact-disc reissue added two stellar bonus cuts. The first one, "Big House," first showed up on a hodge-podge Wolf bootleg album from the '70s. Its non-appearance on the original album is somewhat of a mystery since it's arguably one of the best performances here. Set at a medium tempo, Wolf stretches out comfortably for over seven minutes, singing certain verses he likes two or three times as the band locks in with deadly authority. Certainly any list of great Howlin' Wolf vocal performances would have to include this one. The second bonus track, "Mr. Airplane Man," is Wolf working his one-riff-fits-all voodoo for all it's worth. You can tell from note one of his vocal entrance that the pilot light of inspiration is fully lit and the ensuing performance is the Wolf at his howlin' best.] (Cub Koda, Allmusic)

Elvis Costello - Extreme Honey (The Very Best of the Warner Bros. Years) '97 @320
For anyone who didn't follow the many paths Costello treaded during the '90s, Extreme Honey: The Very Best of Warner Brothers Years is a good way to become acquainted with the strangest portion of his career. Like the Warner years themselves, Extreme Honey is flawed, suffering from the same idiosyncratic compiling method as Girls! Girls! Girls! There are a number of hits and singles, to be sure ("Veronica," "So Like Candy," "Sulky Girl," "13 Steps Lead Down," "The Other Side of Summer"), but the bulk of the album consists of album tracks. This isn't necessarily bad, since many of Costello's best songs weren't singles, but the problem is, Extreme Honey doesn't necessarily contain his best songs from the era. There are a number of great moments here, whether it's the lilting "The Birds Will Still Be Singing" from the underrated Juliet Letters or the New Orleans-inflected "Deep Dark Truthful Mirror," but the forced cacophony of "Hurry Down Doomsday (The Bugs Are Taking Over)" merely indicates how he was prone to excess during this era. And that leaves Extreme Honey in a weird position -- it accurately conveys the spirit of Costello's Warner recordings, but it only has a portion of his best work from those albums. Nevertheless, the fact that it captures the feeling of Costello's '90s recordings makes it a worthwhile sampler for the curious who don't want to delve into the actual albums. [In order to entice collectors and die-hard fans, Extreme Honey contains "My Dark Life," Costello's collaboration with Brian Eno originally on The X-Files soundtrack, and the new track "The Bridge I Burned," a neo-psychedelic/trip-hop number constructed from backing tapes recorded with his son and Supergrass drummer Danny Goffey once Prince denied him the permission to alter the lyrics to "Pop Life."] (Stephen Thomas Erlewine, Allmusic)

Jackson Browne - Late for the Sky (1974, Remastered 2014) @320
On his third album, Jackson Browne returned to the themes of his debut record (love, loss, identity, apocalypse) and, amazingly, delved even deeper into them. "For a Dancer," a meditation on death like the first album's "Song for Adam," is a more eloquent eulogy; "Farther On" extends the "moving on" point of "Looking Into You"; "Before the Deluge" is a glimpse beyond the apocalypse evoked on "My Opening Farewell" and the second album's "For Everyman." If Browne had seemed to question everything in his first records, here he even questioned himself. "For me some words come easy, but I know that they don't mean that much," he sang on the opening track, "Late for the Sky," and added in "Farther On," "I'm not sure what I'm trying to say." Yet his seeming uncertainty and self-doubt reflected the size and complexity of the problems he was addressing in these songs, and few had ever explored such territory, much less mapped it so well. "The Late Show," the album's thematic center, doubted but ultimately affirmed the nature of relationships, while by the end, "After the Deluge," if "only a few survived," the human race continued nonetheless. It was a lot to put into a pop music album, but Browne stretched the limits of what could be found in what he called "the beauty in songs," just as Bob Dylan had a decade before.

Jillem - THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU :) I really appreciate this. All of these albums were, are or have become favorites. The Heptones 'cool rasta' ('book of rules'+ basically) is stone cold classic. And The Reggae Boys 'selassie' on the Dry Acid compilation is so awesome i'm surprised it's only on a few comps. Seriously Jillem you just made my weekend so much brighter :) Thanks for everything you post and please keep posting more reggae (and maybe some world music stuff too?). Thanks again, Noel-23
Roy Porter is new to me, thanks for the chance to hear this.
Mose
Thanks to Jillem for the high-end funk in today's posts!
Anybody out there got zippy links to the Goldmine/Soul Supply British soul volumes 1 and 2
Gyro, thank you for sharing all and anything, Elvis Costello and Jackson Browne...always great.
You're welcome, Noel-23
GYRO and Jillem- Thanks for all of today's great offerings!
Gyro- The History Of Latino Rock upload appears to be the one I shared here in January of this year and that link is still active.

This is what happens when we have so much stuff on out hard drives that we lost track of where they're from or even remembering we had it. I can sure relate! :)
Hello Gyro66
Johnny Pissoff says thanks for "THE HOLY MODAL ROUNDERS"
Ahimsa !!!
Clash - I'm sure it came from you. I grab things in the morning to upload, and I often don't remember where I got it from or even where I bought it. Today I just ordered another Lacie 4TB hard drive, hopefully that will get me through another year!
Thanks
I think Anonymous is getting frustrated!
Thanks Gyro for the great bonus selections.
Thanks for such a great post, Gyro and Jillem!
Jillem, thanks for the uploads, you too Gyro.
I too am anonymous.
Tanx for Holy Modal Rounders and Jack Hammer.
Regarding Anonymous above (not me), Johnny Pissoff is a character in a great Ed Sanders routine, "The Illiad", and may also be in a Fugs song or two. I don't know that it has anything to do with anonymous' attitude, maybe he thinks the HMR's are getting attention that should be devoted to The Fugs!
"Johnny Pissoff Meets the Red Angel" is a hilarious track from the Fugs' album "It Crawled Into My Hand, Honest". I am 100% sure it wasn't intended as attitude. Ahimsa to you as well, Anonymous!!!
Jillem - Thank you for the Flac upgrades on those lovely reggae albums!
Thanks Gyro for all your post of today. I hope for you that your new hard drive will be enough for one new year, but ... is it really sure?
Thanks RYP and Gyro for all what you make for us everyday !!!
@GYRO - Many thanx for the Modal Rounders
