Colossal Gospel :: Circles

Autumn Tone Colossal GospelPosted on

You’ve heard mention of the “Heart of the South” aplenty. It’s something of a regional reference point, the geographic central organ of whatever context in which it’s breathed. It can simultaneously be the Georgia Piedmont and the Mississippi Delta. Maybe it’s where those hillbillies dwell up near the Great Smokies in the Appalachian Plateau. Just depends. On what you’re reading. Or seeing. Or listening to. On where that story happens to live. The Heart of the South can be anyplace, which basically means it’s every place. And if it’s every place, then maybe . . .

Eddie Bo & Inez Cheatham :: Lover And A Friend (1968)

Eddie Bo & Inez CheatamPosted on

“That’s James [Black] on drums.   James was one of the most talented drummers I ever worked with and James was way out there.   Not many folks could play that many rhythms at one time.   And then he was spaced out and he would go further with his drums.   James never did stay on this planet….You’ve never heard drums like that and you’ll never hear drums like that again” - Eddie Bo

Gene Boyd :: Thought Of You Today (1982)

Gene BoydPosted on

Yeah, you're not going to want to skip this one. Suuuper nasty Muscle Shoals disco funk rarity from 1982. Or rather, five minutes and twenty one seconds of raw space funk r&b from the deep South.

Gabor Szabo :: Some Velvet Morning (1968, Lee Hazlewood)

Gabor SzaboPosted on

Culled from the 1968 Bacchanal LP, Gabor Szabo's heady brew of jazz/psych/raga takes on Lee Hazlewood's "Some Velvet Morning". Both innovator and interpreter, Szabo's  instrumental interpretation stretches out rhythmically while retaining the Hazlewood/Sinatra vocal cadence/melody. And while the cover works best within the frame and aesthetic of the album . . .

Grateful Dead :: Springfield Creamery Benefit Veneta OR – 8-27-72

Grateful Dead Jerry GarciaPosted on

Rhino Records (who I consult for) asked me to contribute to their upcoming series of posts/playlists centered around what would be Garcia's 70th birthday, August, 1st. My piece goes live later this week and centers on what, if forced to choose, would be my favorite year in the band's long trajectory -- 1972. The year was a sweet spot; it was special. They were coming off two of their strongest records, had Keith Godchaux on keys, Pigpen was still in the game and Bill Kreutzman was the sole drummer. In short, this is peak era "Good Ol' Grateful . . .
