Dub Modal

Enjoying this Braxton quartet session, especially Nels Cline: led me to this Doug Cuomo album, Seven Limbs from 2021: which was apparently based on a Buddhist practice.

Taking an impromptu excursion through Eloy's discography: Inside, '73 Floating, '74 Power and the Passion, '75 Dawn, '76 Enjoyable albums with Power and the Passion being the highlight so far.

Ha, I know what you mean. I'm no Christian but those tunes are serious ear worms.

Highly rec that comp. It's a 2 CD set with the first disc being Sam's gospel productions and the 2nd one his secular r&b with plenty of overlap among the singers. You get to hear Johnny Taylor and Lou Rawls as young men which is awesome. And Sam's studio chatter is pure gold.

As usual. 👍

You know they're good

Yall enjoy and please report back. Would be great to be able to attend one of these conferences one day.

From the SAR Records Story CD set, the Womack Bros: of course, Bobby Womack & Sam Cooke is some really interesting history to say the least. Then there's RH Harris & the Soul Stirrers There's a ton more on YT as well. Not my fave genre. Have to take it in small doses but the singing is impressive as hell.

Doh! 🙃

Is the OP's question specifically for soul music of decades past? If so, why is that?

The episode of Ted Lasso from a couple of weeks ago did a brief tribute to Chet Baker and incorporated it into the episode's story nicely. Unexpected but well done.

Let this man scratch that Blues Funk itch you have

Never heard anything that left an impression or that made me want to search for more. Better stuff elsewhere...

If I have the time, I dig those crates.

No specific LPs but Johnny Guitar Watson & Albert Collins are guys I always recommend outside of the well known players. Great albums and styles.

Indeed. Wes paid dues on top of dues.

Listening to Grover's Winelight while working. Don't judge me... Earlier, 'twas: via the Mosaic Select.

Discogs lists an LP copy at $0.42! Shipping = $6 lol.

I dig the tune and glad I ordered this set. Looking forward to giving a full listen. 👍

George Duke and those late 70s Crusaders albums.

This thread is nearly 19 years old and the early pages are pretty funny/interesting. People can get bitchy as hell talking about music and musicians. Makes for an entertaining read at least. Hate that I'm only coming around to enjoy is music at this stage with the man turning 78 later this year. Makes me think JSngry's on point with the documentation of his output as I wouldn't doubt he's thinking about legacy and keeping the Tri-Centric Foundation going into the future. Long game indeed. For Johnny-come-lately's like myself, that's a great thing. Regarding the Braxton Bootleg material, is all of that available via bandcamp? I've seen a few but nothing like what's there on that discogs page.

On a Braxton kick. May take a while. Is there a book that compiles all or a lot of his compositional artwork? Fascinating stuff...

Conforth & Wardlow's book is excellent. I recommend it to anyone.

Never heard of this album or artist. Bookmarked.

Just want to say to any shoppers here that you can buy with confidence. My CDs were delivered fast and as described.
