I loved their first couple of albums then cooled on them. They're playing in London this year, I'm tempted

I stopped listening to them very early, at 'Curtains', and I'm not sure why now at this distance. So my favourite remains the first one.

My interest is piqued again so I think I'll stream some of the later ones. Obviously you rate 'Simple Pleasure' highly as you post it often so I'll start there. Which other later one would you suggest I try?

I believe Tindersticks "I", "II", "Curtains" and "Simple Pleasure" build a consistent body of work .... thereafter ups and downs occur ....

The Commodores had a really tight Rhythm Section .... excellent Funk drenched "live" platter ....

[soulpope]

A stupendous recording .... only problem : it's hard to listen to any other music afterwards ....

I do too. Sort of an update & revision of previous compositions. It all sounds good to me.

Recorded at Muscle Shoals Sounds Alabama in 1990 .... after a long hiatus this album marked Tony Joe White`s return to new studio recordings ....

[soulpope]

Was listening to the radio and then a voice broke through, which immediatly cuased goosebumps .... Spencer Wiggins was singing "I`d Rather Go Blind"  .... this Fame/XL Recording compi is a must have ....

[soulpope]

Remaining in "the land of the giants" .... realistically after listening to Spencer Wiggins only James Carr or O.V. Wrigt are a valid options to go on ....

[soulpope]

The Rolling Stones "It's Only Rock 'N Roll" (Rolling Stones Records)                                     1974 .... 

[soulpope]

Recently talked about James Carr, Spencer Wiggins and O.V. Wright being a league of their own .... this outstanding John Edwards LP from 1976 demonstrates how well the "Southern Soul 2nd Tier" was cast .... btw produced by David Porter ....

Sleater / Kinney: Little Rope

[soulpope]

Richard Marks "Never Satisfied" (Now-Again Records) 2015 .... a sought after guitar player by greats like Al Green and Eddie Kendricks .... but Richard Marks was an outstanding Southern Soulster on his own recording for a myriad of small labels .... worth seeking out ....
