JOHNNIE TAYLOR: TAYLORED IN SILK

Oct 4, 2011, 7:02am L.A. RECORD
(Out now on Concord/Stax Remasters ) "The Philosopher of Soul," Arkansas-born Taylor was an early disciple of Sam Cooke, taking over Sam's part in the renowned gospel group the Soul Stirrers before landing up at Stax-Volt in the mid-Sixties. The next-to-last of Taylor's LPs for Stax, this 1973 swank up Soul Street is, along with Big Star's three-album output and a few Rufus Thomas and Shirley Brown singles, among the label's last notable recordings before the Memphis powerhouse folded in 1975. The wiseass persona Taylor displays on "Cheaper to Keep Her" exhibits only one [...]

Johnnie Taylor: Taylored in Silk

May 19, 2011, 8:45pm Hyperbolium
Johnnie Taylor: Taylored in Silk Blues- and gospel-influenced soul singer hits a peak on Stax Vocalist Johnnie Taylor wore a number of musical hats, starting with roots in gospel, striking a soulful resonance with Stax, and finding his largest chart success with 1976's "Disco Lady." Taylor brought his roots with him to Stax, and his first few releases were see-saw affairs that vacillated between blues and Southern soul. His rise as a bona fide soul and R&B star began with the arrival of new staff producer Don Davis, who helmed 1968's chart-topping "Who's Making Love." Taylor and Davis continued [...]

News: Stax Reissues Booker T, Staples Singers, Johnnie Taylor

Apr 8, 2011, 7:14am PlugInMusic.com
From the early 1960s to the mid-1970s, the Stax label dominated soul, R&B, gospel, and related genres with a stable of artists who have since become iconic figures in the history of American popular music. Now a part of the Concord Music Group , the Stax catalog is a treasure trove of some of the most visceral and influential recordings of the 20th century. On May 10, 2011, Concord reaches back into that deep catalog to launch Stax Remasters, a series of reissues that cast a new light on classic Stax recordings with the help of 24-bit remastering, rare [...]

When A Cover Gets Covered: "Ain't That Loving You"

Jan 26, 2011, 5:00pm Everybody Taste
When A Cover Gets Covered: "Ain't That Loving You" Jamaican pioneers The Tennors came along just as the frenzied pace of ska music began to slow into the syncopated drum and bass centered groove of rocksteady. Rocksteady replaced the horn-heavy ska sound with a greater emphasis on vocals, which proved to be the perfect vehicle for the Tennors' talented core of singers. In the back of a taxicab in 1967, they won over Studio One arranger Jackie Mittoo with a version of "Pressure and Slide"—a song that sampled from the Stax Records' single "Ain't That Loving You" by Johnny Taylor. "Pressure and Slide" became the [...]

Come Back For Seconds

Come Back For Seconds Hey, come out to Grow Up tonight if you can. Click on the flyer to the right for details. I grabbed this record whilst digging in Sacramento with my buddy from lazerfunk over the weekend. This record, still sealed was in a pile of MC Hammer 12"s and $10 Switched On Bach LPs on a lower shelf. I also got a couple of mint Aurra 12"s, some good jazz funk, and some Chi house heat. While I was down there I was crop dusted by some middle aged weirdo who was looking [...]

Any Major Soul 1988-89

Aug 26, 2010, 6:25pm Any Major Dude With Half A Heart
Any Major Soul 1988-89 The cycle of soul compilations covering the 1970s and '80s is coming to an end with this mix, some 13 months after I posted the first (which drew a comment from Jerry Plunk, singer of the Flaming Ember). I have had feedback from a number of people who said they have collected the whole series. One reader told me that he burnt the compilations on CD, printed the covers and gave the set as a present to a soul-loving relative. It's feedback like this that makes me not ditch this lonely blogging thing. Now, should I produce Any Major Soul [...]

TVD Pop Over | Echoes In The Wind

Sep 10, 2009, 12:58pm The Vinyl District
(You're supposed to read the type in the graphic with the mournful announcer's voice: "...on a very special...TVD Pop Over...") I'd been reading whiteray's excellent blog 'Echoes in the Wind' for a number of years now, reveling in his tales and tunes when suddenly last week—boom!—blog was ...gone? The whole thing. Just disappeared. Uh, whiteray? "It was kind of like turning on the television news and seeing a three-headed alien behind the desk saying "Good evening! I'm Gnirt Tkalch, and here's the news tonight on Planet Zamzam." [...]

Behind The Beats, Vol. 7: Jake One's "The Truth ft. Freeway & Brother Ali"

May 9, 2009, 1:37pm Midwest Broadcast
Behind The Beats, Vol. 7: Jake One's "The Truth ft. Freeway & Brother Ali" Jake One dropped one of the best-produced albums of 2008 with his Rhymesayers-released album, White Van Music . The entire record featured track after track of sublime beats, whether they were sample-based or not. Jake One has an incredible knack for capturing the mood and theme of each song in his beats; it seems like each one was tailor-made to tell a specific story for evoke a certain emotion. One of the album's ndeniable highlights, however, was the lead single "The Truth ft. Freeway and Brother Ali." Besides boasting two of rap's finest emcees [...]
