Watch the video replay below. " Bravest Man in the Universe": "Jubilee": [...]

Well, this is a huge surprise to me. Out of no where, Basement Jaxx have decided to upload a brand-new remix of Bobby Womack's "Love Is Gonna Lift You Up/." You know, the track that Julio Bashmore decided to create a masterpiece with?
Haz Solo and I have been working on Polyester and Whiskey for a few months. He approached me about collaborating on a project and since I am not a producer, it was really a joy to participate in the unique manner in which I did. I picked an era (I'm always partial to the 70s) and I picked a handful of songs for him to sample. We tag teamed this effort and the end result is one side with the originals and the other with the beats that [...]

Bobby Womack , the man responsible for one of this year's most critically acclaimed albums The Bravest Man in the Universe , has been forced to withdraw from this month's shared-bill festival in Marlay Park. The 68-year-old icon had been scheduled to perform alongside Van Morrison and Tom Jones at what some have nicknamed 'Geriatric Picnic' but, according to MCD, illness has ruled any chance of the soul superstar appearing. All is not lost, however. Irish blues legend Don Baker has been drafted in to replace [...]
Bobby Womack released one of the most interesting albums earlier this year produced by Damon Albarn. Now one of our faves Julio Bashmore has got his magic touch on one of Bobby's tracks.
In the 13th installment of Covered With Soul we have interpretations of hits by The Mamas And Papas, Bob Dylan, Bobbie Gentry, Joe South, John Denver, Glen Campbell, Dionne Warwick, Neil Sedaka, Hall & Oates, The Doobie Brothers, The Beatles (twice), Etta James, Tommy Edwards, Bobby Vinton, The Everly Brothers, Simon & Garfunkel, Bobby Darin (or Tim Hardin) and Steam, as well as a song from the Hammerstein & Rogers musical Carousel. For two tracks, those by Ike & Tina Turner and Cissy Houston, I have no year of recording; they appeared on greatest hits type of albums. [...]
“He came on television and told everyone that he had seen God… So I stopped channel surfing immediately.” Gil Scott-Heron’s words have always sparked both curiosity and entertainment for me; his introduction on Bobby Womack’s song “Stupid” off of his latest album The Bravest Man In The Universe is no different. The two are so influential in the music and art worlds that having them together on one work seems almost imaginary. The lyrics of both men provide imagery, enlightenment, and a necessary questioning of the world around us. The album takes soul into a new realm, meshing [...]

Three covers, none of the duvet variety First is a cover of a Bob Dylan song which is, oddly, more famous that the original. Especially when you consider that the person singing on the new version of the song isn't exactly talented. But what do I know? Listen to Rebecca Black's version and then the original by the one and only Bob Dylan (or God, as he's also known). Bob Dylan - Friday [ More Info ] [...]

Julio Bashmore tourne à mort en ce moment et upload des morceaux sans prévenir personne sur son soundcloud. C'est en me baladant dessus hier que je suis tombé sur ce remix tout frais de Bobby Womack . On peut lire Broadwalk Records dans le tag du morceau, bizarre ? Je pense que c'est simplement une question de référencement sur soundcloud. Pour ce qu'il en est du remix, sachant que l'album de Bobby est une perle qui brille, on reste un peu frileux quant au fait d'avoir des remixes qui pourraient saccager ses [...]
