BONUS 1 OF 9 (Mono)

West Coast Soul '65 (History Of Soul Mono LP 007) 2016

2016 RSD release - The Afro-American migration to the West Coast of the USA during World War II and in the immediate post war period came mainly from Louisiana and Texas, although other states lost thousands of residents to boom time cities like Los Angeles and Oakland as well. They were entertained by blues singers, doo wop groups and gospel quartets, many of whom recorded for the vast army of independent R & B labels which grew exponentially as the 1950s wore on. By the time soul music became the music of choice for the Afro-American public those surviving labels were joined by a new wave of companies dedicated to the new musical trend. This LP celebrates the days when blues was giving way to gospel based vocalists and harder dance rhythms were makin waves. Tracks from the various strands and origins of soul music are on show here – obscurities and rarities as well as songs from singers who didn’t get famous in the 1960s but whose names reverberate around Europe’s dance venues today. The mix includes thumping Northern soul to the gentlest of ballads – and everything in between

BONUS 2 OF 9 (Mono)

Texas Soul '65: Duke-Peacock-Sure Shot (History Of Soul Mono LP 006) 2016

The first very well received album in this series concentrated on the Houston productions of Duke / Peacock King Don Robey. And although a few tracks here follow on that path, the net is spread much wider taking in Dallas, San Antonio and Fort Worth as well. There are some very rare recordings featured here and none of these cuts have been included on a commercial CD before. Fans of R&B, blues and soul can buy with total confidence. Enjoy more of the best of Afro-American music from Texas in the 60s!

Bobby Bland - Two Steps From The Blues (1961, Remastered + Bonus) Soul Jam CD 2012

Without a doubt, Two Steps from the Blues is the definitive Bobby "Blue" Bland album and one of the great records in electric blues and soul-blues. In fact, it's one of the key albums in modern blues, marking a turning point when juke joint blues were seamlessly blended with gospel and Southern soul, creating a distinctly Southern sound where all of these styles blended so thoroughly it was impossible to tell where one began and one ended. Given his Memphis background, Bobby "Blue" Bland was perfectly suited for this kind of amalgam as envisioned by producer/arranger Joe Scott, who crafted these wailing horn arrangements that sounded as impassioned as Bland's full-throated, anguished vocals. It helped, of course, that the songs were uniformly brilliant. Primarily from the pen of Deadric Malone, along with Duke head Don Robey and Scott (among others), these are the tunes that form the core of Bobby "Blue" Bland's legend and the foundation of soul-blues: "Two Steps from the Blues," "I Don't Want No Woman," "Cry, Cry, Cry," "I'm Not Ashamed," "Lead Me On," "Little Boy Blue" -- songs so good they overshadow standards like "St. James Infirmary." These are songs that blur the division between Ray Charles soul and Chess blues, opening the doors for numerous soul and blues sounds, from Muscle Shoals and Stax through the modern-day soul-bluesman. Since this, like many blues albums from the late '50s/early '60s, was a collection of singles, it's possible to find the key tracks, even the entire album, on the numerous Bobby "Blue" Bland collections released over the years, but this remains an excellent, essential blues album on its own terms -- one of the greatest ever released.

Rips - Rips (2017)

New York band RIPS are students of their home city’s rock history, with a major in late ’70s sounds like Television, The Feelies (and other Ork Records groups). The band’s debut album, which was produced by Austin Brown of Parquet Courts, will be out June 16 via Faux Discs and compares favorably to that era, with a little of Parquet Courts’ spunk in there too. (BV)

Brooklyn based Rips have quickly built a reputation amongst NYC showgoers, winning them over with their virtuous melodies and sheer ferocity amidst an endless flurry of shows. Their songs may channel late '70s New York City bands like Television and The Feelies, but Rips propels these references into something new. Their self-titled debut, produced by Austin Brown of Parquet Courts, is eleven tracks of buzzing guitar riffs driven by a charged rhythm section, all set under lyrics that are actually worth a damn. Rips (the record) takes cues from the moonlighting era of rock, while delivering a set of songs distinctly fit for the modern age. Once described as a “hyperreal rock n’ roll group”, the phrase “borne forward ceaselessly into the future" is more what they’re going for here. (NPR)

The Deslondes - Hurry Home (2017)

On Hurry Home, the 2017 sequel to their eponymous 2015 debut, the Deslondes take things easy, but that doesn't necessarily mean they're lazy. Part of the charm of the New Orleans quintet is their light touch, how they blend country, blues, folk, and noir-ish rock without ever seeming like they're conscious of their fusion. It helps that the Deslondes not only poach from several different Americana styles, they help muddy up eras, splicing AM pop to a backwoods skip on "(This Ain't A) Sad Song" -- a move they mirror on "Every Well," where a Tex-Mex two-step gets drowned out by swaths of organ -- and indulging in dreamy waltzes ("Just in Love with You," "She Better Be Lonely") that can evoke the Everly Brothers as easily as they conjure memories of the time-bending music of Twin Peaks. The Deslondes can kick up some dust, too -- "Hurricane Shakedown" is a barnburner of a blues, one that benefits from producer Andrija Tokic's smeary production -- and if the group can sound like Tom Waits as a babe in the woods whenever the tempo slows, that's endearing too. The Deslondes don't seem encumbered by either the expectations of genre or the weight of the past. Instead, they spend their time on Hurry Home cherry-picking what's good, assembling an album that feels familiar yet idiosyncratic. The coziness makes the first spin of Hurry Home go down easy, but it's those quirks that pay off dividends on repeated plays. (Stephen Thomas Erlewine, Allmusic)

The Deslondes - The Deslondes (2015)

New Orleans is a great place for roots music, but it has never been a major city for country music; when you have the best blues, R&B, and zydeco in the world in your backyard, forming a country band is a bit like going to a steakhouse and ordering pizza, something that may be tasty but isn't the house specialty. But the debut album from the Deslondes suggests these guys are just smart enough to know their adopted hometown has a powerful musical legacy of its own, and if an alt-country band was going to settle in the Crescent City and soak up what it has to offer, this is just what they could and should sound like. The Deslondes has a loose, easygoing feel that's a distant cousin of the lazy but potent beat of classic New Orleans R&B (and the piano work suggests someone has been listening to some Huey "Piano" Smith), while the production gives the performances a vibe that recalls a Sunday afternoon guitar pull on someone's back porch. The guitar work from Sam Doores and Riley Downing meshes beautifully, with a lonesome purr that's sweet and soulful, and the pedal steel work by John James Tourville roots these songs in a traditional C&W feel without robbing this band of its low-key personality (if a band has ever sounded more heartbroken and hung-over on record than these folks do on "Simple and True," no one has spun it in quite some time). And drummer Cameron Snyder and bassist Dan Cutler are a loosely tight rhythm section who might not sound like Louisiana, but they're clearly nowhere near Nashville. Add in the wobbly but heartfelt vocals and surprisingly strong harmonies and you get an engaging debut from a band that hits a graceful midpoint between The Basement Tapes and the Gourds, not to mention delivering one of 2015's more pleasant surprises.

Great collection of non-comped soulful gospel from the collection of rising star Brooklyn DJ/45rpm collector Drew Redmond. He spins gospel 45’s every Sunday at Gospel Sunday Supper at Butterfunk Kitchen in Brooklyn!

Complete front and back cover with track listing. This is one well-mixed 65 minute collection that was recorded as one long track by Drew and uploaded @320. I burned this onto a CD and used the excellent cover & back art for a nice package. I already played this three times last night - highly recommended rockin’ soul/gospel!
