lexicondevil Posted September 21, 2016 Author Share Posted September 21, 2016 For those of you who haven't heard this Sabbath cover by Charles Bradley. He sang it as a tribute to his mother, who he lost recently and was pretty much his world. This is off his newest album by the same title.

Hey! I like the Sabbath version. Charles takes it to a whole new level, though. Yes, the tears. Seeing him live it was tough to hold them back.

TheGhostOfRandySavage Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 Solid version of that song. I too enjoy the original though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lexicondevil Posted November 23, 2016 Author Share Posted November 23, 2016 I know there is a thread for Fantastic Negrito, but if you love soul and blues you gotta check him out. There are some Prince and early James Brown moments in his music. I did not like him at first, but he killed it when I saw him open for Temple of the Dog. Here is a stripped down acoustic set on NPR. Also a link to buy the record for only 12.99 with an instant DL, too. I think if this guy keeps going, he will achieve legendary status.

somethingvinyl Posted November 28, 2016 Share Posted November 28, 2016 Found a beat up copy of this lesser-known Irma single. She's the Soul Queen of New Orleans and finding her records in good shape is next to impossible: NapalmBrain 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
somethingvinyl Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 Bump Hey guys. Found this tune a while back. Benny Spellman, who is originally from Florida, recorded a ton of singles and lived in New Orleans. Toussaint wrote and produced this track. Benny Spellman found success with other Toussaint songs "Lipstick Traces" and "Fortune Teller" but this has an entirely different sound. Nice dance tune. lexicondevil and BuzzersonKillwell 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NapalmBrain Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 Got Candi Staton "I'm Just A Prisoner" finally this week. Had to pay $50 for it, but outside of a little crackle it sounds incredible. Been on a big southern soul kick lately: Aretha, Johnnie Taylor, Ann Peebles, Otis, Candi, just can't get enough. Would love to find that first Irma Thomas but yeah good luck to me somethingvinyl and lexicondevil 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
somethingvinyl Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 Oh, yeah, forgot to mention this: Found a guy on FB selling his collection of records. It was about 300 records for $200. But the pics he showed, made it seem worth it. I left work around noon on Friday. I drove about 11 hours to Eureka Springs, Arkansas (which is just 20 minutes south of the Missouri state line). I showed up at this guy's house around 11 PM. Chatted for a minute, inspected a lot of the records, and packed them up. Drove another hour to Harrison, AR to find a motel to sleep in. Got up the next day around 8 AM and started the drive shortly after. Around 6 PM I was back in New Orleans. 30 hours and 1,300 miles later and I had this: RowBearToe, lexicondevil, soundofsilver and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

warhenrecords Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 Can't wait to be in NOLA in April and do some digging for some classic funk gems. I'm privy to Euclid, but are there any other record shops I should check out? Also if y'all aren't hip to this Betty Harris comp that came out last year, get on it. Basically every track is backed by The Meters and produced by Allen Toussaint. Ridiculous. somethingvinyl 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Domino Sound has a great selection of 45's, specifically a good of amount of local stuff. Louisiana Music Factory doesn't have a lot of 45's, but they have a lot of local music. Mostly CD - issued stuff, but a good selection of records. If you're looking for anything else, hit me up. I may have it. warhenrecords 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warhenrecords Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 Nothing in particular honestly, just whichever store might be the best. Looks like maybe Euclid is the spot. I just like to dig and see what I find. Looking forward to it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
somethingvinyl Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 Definitely go to Euclid. I would also go to Domino Sound, at least. They have a little of everything. It's pretty fairly priced too. warhenrecords 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuzzersonKillwell Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 Hey dudes. Looking for a little help finding stuff of a certain sound. In an effort to avoid describing it clumsily here are a few videos. If you have any more that sound like this, let me know. More specifically, stuff that sounds like these songs, not these artists in general. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will have to give it some thought. I'm usually searching out the funk soul dance floor bombs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
somethingvinyl Posted April 3, 2017 Share Posted April 3, 2017 (edited) George McCray sounds like you'd get the same feeling from listening to Issac Hayes. I posted that Tarheel Slim 45 before. That's more rhythm and blues than soul persay. You could find a bunch of 50's and early 60's that has a similar sound. Syl Johnson is in a class by himself. He's got so much output that you would be listening to his stuff forever to hear it all. Little Milton is another popular guy. Earlier stuff can be R&B and bluesy. Latter stuff is funkier. Nobody to compare him to. An interesting approach to music is to listen to soul specifically from different parts of the country. Motown was so successful that other cities try to have their own "Motown sound." So Philadelphia has it's own sound. New Orleans has it's own sound. Houston has it's own sound. Comps are a great way to hear the 60's music of a specific area. Edited April 3, 2017 by somethingvinyl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RowBearToe Posted April 4, 2017 Share Posted April 4, 2017 I'm trying to pick up Luther Allison - Bad News is Coming and noticed that discogs says there was a 2016 Italian repress; but I can't find any information on it anywhere. Does anyone know if this actually exists? Or where I can get a good copy at a decent price? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
somethingvinyl Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 Don't know if I posted this one before, but I've had it for a while. This weekend was French Quarter Festival here. Walter "Wolfman" Washington is a local NO guitar player that performs a lot, mostly at big fests like this. He tours but isn't playing anything outside of clubs. He plays some trad. NO soul songs, but lots of it is very typical blues. Prior to what got him paid, he had a couple soul singles that garner big bucks these days. Got this one and it's a funky tune. The Youtube clip sounds terrible but gives a hint at how great it is. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wGC5oZl8Nzwhttps://www.discogs.com/Walter-Washington-Soul-Powers-Pony-Express/release/5736915 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soundofsilver Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 Idris Muhammad - Turn This Mutha Out (reissue from this month). Soul Brother Records in London put it out. Sound and Pressing are fantastic. Universal Togetherness Band s/t - Numero Group from '15. Fantastic sound. Only paid $14 on this one.
