...You get a whole lot of rare sides recorded for the Jubilee, Josie, and Port record label group in the late '50s to early '60s. The haunting Broken Heart by The Moonlighters, the Louis Prima-esque Mirror-Mirror by Ernest Tucker, the swingin' Three Little Chickens by the Four Tunes, the all-time unhinged Rhythm & Blues classic Rubber Biscuit by The Chips, and that's all just in the first six tracks! As a matter of fact, I think this is better than the last volume, a damn near essential collection and I probably would have listed it as that if the presentation and packaging were just a little better. As it is, there is certainly plenty of essential material here. Great cuts by Piney Brown, The Cadillacs, Bobby Freeman, Gene Nash, The Cookies, Rocky Storm, All and Jet, etc. What are you waitin' for? (JM, Roots & Rhythm)

Soul Transfusion; Soul Transfusion (HOS 11) 2017
Since youth was youth and fashion was fashion, the dance floors of the Western world have periodically been swept by dance rages. Prior to World War I, Irene and Vernon Castle popularized a variety of dances, notably the Fox Trot and a number of animal" dances. The 1920s saw huge popularity for the Charleston, Blackbottom, and Lindy, and in the late 1930s the rage began for wild jitterbugging to swing bands. But none of these dance crazes could match the early 1960s for their sheer variety of dance fads. And here they all are: The Shing-A-Ling, The Frog, The Hunch, The Camel Walk, The Monkey, The Jerk, The Popcorn and many more. This album covers some of the most distinctive and entertaining dances of the era up to the dance-crazed peak of 1966.

Laura Nyro - A Little Magic, A Little Kindess: The Complete Mono Albums Collection (1967/1968, Real Gone Music 2017)
Back to Mono! This is an absolute for die hard Nyro fans. I own both the stereo and mono versions of these LPs--although worn with time. I also own the CD's--in the case of ELI, not only the remastered stereo but the SACD as well. Laura got me through my teenage angst during the 60s/early 70s. As a fellow New Yorker I related all too well to her lyrics, especially the second side of "Christmas". Anyway....
The remastered mono version is crystal clear and Real Gone Music should be commended on the restoration; why Columbia did not issue these two mono version is rather odd, but at least someone has. If you are only familiar with the more popular stereo version, let me say there is a difference.
The mixes on many of the songs are vastly different with either heightened backing vocals or slightly different arrangements. Both discs, of both LPs, have a difference but MORE THAN A NEW DISCOVERY is a major notice. First, if you own the reissue of this on Columbia, and not the original on Verve/Forecast, the track listing on both mono and stereo were vastly altered. Verve/Forecast even altered the track listing on the stereo and mono LP releases in the day. The mono track listing is far, far superior and the tracks make far more sense in their flow. Again, I own both LP versions and in the day I was always far more partial to the mono LP, but stereo was the thing so I must admit I did play the stereo version much more. The track listing for ELI on both stereo and mono LPs were identical so no real change there other than as I stated the mixes are slightly different.
There is no need for me to go into the music as if you are purchasing this CD you know the quality of the songs---be they the BIG hits or not. For a woman who could not read or write music, she sure knew what to do despite those "obstacles." Her three "cornerstone" LPs are the highlight of her career and for most of us who grew up with her during that time period are cemented in our subconscious forever.
This two CD set is really for the ardent, tried and true Laura fans. Just buy it and add to your existing Laura CD collection. If you still have the mono LPs, these will omit all the ticks and bumps as when you first put needle to vinyl back in 1967/68. (Record Heaven)

Soul Sugar - Chase the Light: Excursions in Soul, Reggae, Funk & Dub (2017)
Funky keyboards and dubby grooves – a great little record that's as much inspired by Jamaican music as it is the longer legacy of American funky jazz! Soul Sugar first started giving us 45s about a decade ago, but their sound has really matured over the years – as leader/keyboard maestro Guillaume Metenier has gained even more control over his Hammond, Fender Rhodes, clavinet, and minimoog – and also picked up plenty of sweet keys along the way! The rest of the instrumentation on the set mostly just comes from bass and drums – but there's a sonic layering approach that really makes for a deep, rich vibe throughout – completely badass in approach, with none of the fakery that you might get if a less-skilled musician were trying to fuse two musical worlds together. Three tracks feature vocals, and the legendary Lonnie Smith guests on one track too. (Dusty Groove)

Culture - Two Sevens Clash (1977, Deluxe Edition 2017)
Re-mastered by Pete Norman at Final Tweek and executive produced by Christopher Chin, features two discs: disc one contains the 10 original songs, while disc two includes extra tracks by The Mighty Two, Shorty the President and Joe Gibbs & The Professionals. One of the masterpieces of the roots era, no album better defines its time and place than Two Sevens Clash, which encompasses both the religious fervor of its day and the rich sounds of contemporary Jamaica. Avowed Rastafarians, Culture had formed in 1976, and cut two singles before beginning work on their debut album with producers the Mighty Two (aka Joe Gibbs and Errol Thompson). Their second single, “Two Sevens Clash,” would title the album and provide its focal point.

The Americans - I'll Be Yours (2017)
The Americans seem to be popping up everywhere lately. The band from Los Angeles had been toiling for several years, playing small gigs and honing their Americana sound. Until recently, they held the (unofficial) title of “best-unsigned band” in America. One could say the band was “discovered” by the team of Jack White, T Bone Burnett and actor Robert Redford when they were putting together the documentary American Epic. The Americans were a house band of sorts, contributing several tunes to the series soundtrack. Their skilful approach to the roots tradition on tracks like ‘Jubilee’ is evident on the soundtrack.
They were also included on an album of sea shanty songs (Son of Rogues Gallery) along with the likes of Tom Waits and Keith Richards. Their new release I’ll Be Yours should do the trick. It’s a carefully crafted album that shows the band ranging from acoustic blues to flat out guitar-driven rock and roll. The opening tune Nevada sets the pace; they hit the ground running with a Creedence influenced anthem. Patrick Ferris, (guitar and vocals) sings with an uncanny John Fogarty wail.
The Right Stuff is a sweet rocker with a driving beat and a melodic riff on vintage guitars. It feels like your rolling on down a dusty Tex-Mex highway.
Stowaway is an in-your-face guitar driven rocker reminiscent of the Black Keys. “You’re mine, All revved up like a teenaged kid” barks Ferris aggressively. Last Chance also has that authority driven rock and roll vibe. It’s a slow blues written in cheap hotels (really) and includes backing vocals from the Secret Sisters.
The title song I’ll Be Yours is an album highlight – an acoustic gem and a clinic in songwriting. The band started out with a more roots-based sound; it comes through in this one.
Additional highlights include Hooky, a distortion laden honky-tonk barnburner and the ballad Daphne, an eerie waltz that serves as a nice closer.
“I’ll Be Yours” is a lively, well-produced album, featuring the diverse styles this band brings to the table. Their sound is inclusive for sure — rock, country, roots, power pop and mellow acoustic ballads. They draw from the great American tradition, with echoes of Springsteen, Guthrie and Chuck Berry. Overall, solid songwriting and top-notch musicianship should get The Americans some much-deserved attention.

@Gyro. Thank you so much for your fundamental personal words about Laura Nyro. It's the truth and written in stone. I got several CD versions of her first LPs (and of course, the LP's too). And I could say there is more than a discovery to made beyond the first LP's of her career. Having a short look on my lists I count 18 albums of Laura. Some were hard to find sometimes. But in the very moment I think Laura is a re-discovery for and from young people.
Here's a working link for one of the TEN CC's masterpieces, Deceptive Bends, 1977':

GYRO Thanks for Ms Nyro and also for the Mono version. I'm revisiting this format and hearing anew.
Moving is HELL!!! I've managed to get my lap top working again but most of my stuff is fucked-up. Anyways, thanks everybody for the music, it helps. Today a special TY to Gyro for the LAURA NYRO and Billy K for the Louisiana posts.
@Billy K : Thanks for the cajun and swamp pop, always appreciated. Speaking of Louisiana music, could anyone care to share lil' band 'o Gold's Fats domino tribute, called "play Fats"? I have never had a chance to hear it but it looks fantastic !
Some choice posts here - many thanks for Laura Nyro, the great Two Sevens Clash, Toots & the Maytals - Reggae Got Soul indeed! And Jonathan Richman too. Quite a haul!
Billy K,
thanks a lot for the bunch of Cajun fun!

like: http://www.rockandrollarchives.net/2014/11/10cc-deceptive-bends-1977-england.html

@RYP - I've got more Swamp Pop coming all week!
Thanks for Laura Nyro & the Jay Gee R&R collection
@Gyro, @Gaius, et al. - if you haven't checked yet, BIGOzine has several pages of Laura Nyro recordings; see http://bigozine2.com/roio/?s=laura+nyro. Theirs is a great site for noncommercial recordings (rhymes with "roots")... with a community that is a disgrace.
Anyway, somehow Ms. Nyro ended up in my Jazz vault; tomorrow's humble upload here will include her 12/22/70 Fillmore East concert (and another track). (192KbpS)
I thought BIGO had provided that recording, but I'm not finding it there. So with sincere respect to our consistently masked friend Anonymous, I don't know where or how long ago I acquired it. If s/he can track that down and let me know by midnight GMT Thursday-into-Friday, I can attribute that site.
Thanks Gyro for the Laura Nyro share.
