I must confess that I find it hard to mourn the death of Amy Winehouse. Don't think of me as a man possessed of a callous heart. Of course the death of a young, talented woman is a cause for sadness. But Ms Winehouse did not die in a tragic accident, as Otis Redding did, nor did a dread disease claim her, as it did Minnie Riperton. Amy Winehouse was a victim of her own excess; she lived a self-destructive lifestyle which first wounded her talent and then (as it appears) ended her life. My empathy is directed at her [...]

The fifth instalment in the Covered With Soul series departs from the custom of the previous four which featured mostly covers of non-soul originals. This mix consists of soul covers of soul songs. One would imagine that soul covers of soul songs would be more frequent than those of non-soul tracks in the genre's repertoire of the late 1960s and '70s, but I've found that this is not necessarily so, at least not as far as reasonably well-known tracks are concerned, and if one ignores the Motown custom of its roster all recording the same songs.

Ladies, can we talk for a minute. I mean really talk. Have you noticed your man doing anything… strange, lately? Does he linger just a little to long in front of the window display at Design Within Reach? Does he look better in those jeans that you wrestled away from some other bitch at Forever 21? Does some website called Manhunt.net keep showing up in your browser history? You got a problem! Don't worry, Barbara Mason understands your pain. Mason got her start as a singer/songwriter in 1965 with the Top 10 hit Yes, [...]

i dont know if you know it, but her other jam on West End "Don't I Ever Cross Your Mind" is even better than "Another Man" and in the same kind of vein. i love it.

Barbara Mason - Going Out of My Head/Groovin' There's something about Barbara Mason's voice circa 1965-68 that's very easy to hear, but difficult to relate in words. I've heard her voice described as innocent or "girlish", but that doesn't quite explain it. Her voice is achingly sweet and heart-wrenchingly beautiful, but she also possesses an unusual fearlessness. There's something very indulgent and uncomfortably personal in the way she sings. She sings with her joy laid bare, the way I expect someone might sing when he or she doesn't think anyone else is listening. [...]
It ain't all about the knock in the trunk and dookie ropes y'all. You need to give your earholes some sweet love from time to time. I thought I'd use a moment here to take it on back... back to some real soul from the ladies. It goes without need for mention I have a soft spot for the sweet stuff. I've been playing these out a mess lately*, so I figured I'd spread the love a little. Barbara Mason - Give Me Your Love Now I just love [...]
firstly, apologies for our mildly flaky hosting whatnot - it appears to have given up working consistantly for lent, here's hoping we sort that one before easter, but do bear with us and if you find the 'out to lunch' sign up when you next pop by be sure we'll be back terribly soon. anyhoo... jakson's frankly transcendant choice for a thursday reminded me of a joe tex track i've long loved hollering my heart out to - and in turn, that got me to thinking about the last great movie soundtrack i really got into. the [...]
