THE LOVE OF MUSIC
AND WE ARE HAVING AN ABSOLUTE BLAST
BELOW YOU WILL FIND LINKS TO THE FEATURED ARTISTS ALONG WITH BASIC NOTES EXPLAINING MUSICAL CHOICES AND INSPIRATIONS
I picked this track because of its title and, despite it being a 1970s Zambian Psyche rock tune, I think it has a soulful underbelly.
CHICK CKICK - EL COROLS BAND & SHOW
This is soul with a hint of the old jazz - I often keep an eye out for the stuff that sells for a lot of money on Discogs - this is an in demand classic apparently. Well, I have been playing it a lot since I discovered it.
I love Ann Peebles - and this track is just too groovy!
TALKING ABOUT MUSIC - NANA LOVE
Had to include this - this person literally screams the lyrics at times.
FIRE ON THE BAYOU - THE METERS
The guitar/tambourine intro is sublime.
RIEN NE VA PLUS - FUNK FACTORY
You could lose your self in the backing vocals…beautiful. Love the dutch plumber guitar.
ROCK CREEK PARK - THE BLACKBYRDS
It has a sleaze about it.
ALL BECAUSE OF YOU - LEROY HUTSON
Great percussion - smooooooth!
I was going to put this on SNAKES but I already had a Rattlesnake - is it a metaphor?
I WANT' A DO SOMETHING FREAKY TO YOU - LEON HAYWOOD
Bloody disgusting filth!
HAPPY FEELIN' - EARTH, WIND & FIRE
The baseline is killer and the horns are used sparingly yeah?
BALL OF CONFUSION (THAT'S WHAT THE WORLD IS TODAY) - THE TEMPTATIONS
Pretty well known tune? Is the deep voice baritone?
ONCE YOU GET STARTED - RUFUS FEATURING CHAKA KHAN
A late addition - replaced a Sly Stone track - I heard this on the radio and thought it needed to be added.
Epic!
Just so bloody jaunty.
(FALLIN' LIKE) DOMINOES - DONALD BYRD
I swear I didn’t know…
THE DEVIL IS DOING HIS WORK - THE CHI-LITES
I could listen to the Chi-Lites forever
I NEED YOU GIRL - THE 3 PIECES
Feels really familiar but I’m fairly sure I only heard it for the first time in the past year.
WOMAN OF THE GHETTO - MARLENA SHAW
Refrained from using California Soul - as good?
EVIL VIBRATIONS - THE MIGHTY RYEDERS
Superb backing vocals again and the guitar is riffing brilliant.
She of the huge ever-growing pulsating brain…
BIRDS, BEES, CUPIDS ANDS BOWS - SHIRLEY ELLIS
Winding up to the finish this track bounces along at quite the pace…
AFTER LAUGHTER (COMES TEARS) - WENDY RENE
…before ending with some hardcore melancholia.
