I couldn't get a few songs by the Tallest Man on Earth out of my head in 2009 I'm not going to make a best-of 2009 list (thought I did post one other best of 2009 list ). I have about 2/3 of the year covered well but the rest of the year's releases I haven't covered as well. I still listen to music obsessively, though and so I can make this list without fear of inadequate preparation. As always with song obsessions, I don't really choose the songs, they choose me. I wish I [...]
If you listened to my radio show you almost definitely heard me play soul and you probably heard me play some soul gospel. There's so compelling about some of it-fervor mixed with hard soul.

Local Customs: Downriver Revival is yet another eclectic compilation, spanning multiple genres, making it difficult to categorize due to the truly diverse nature of the track selection. Though compiled from [...]

Every time an album with religious themes is reviewed, it seems the writer feels the need to clarify his personal position on religion. Reviews of the bitches-and-hos varieties of rap-do they clarify their position on bitches and hos? Regardless, I figure that there's good music inspired by faith and good music inspired by secular themes. Everything that Numero puts out is great, but Local Customs: Downriver Revival has to be one of my favorites yet. With a mix of gospel, soul, rock and funk, this album collects recordings between 1967 and 1981 that [...]

Shirley Ann Lee - There's a Light Just the sound of an immensely powerful voice channelling inspiration and laying everything bare - enough to raise even the most downcast of spirits. The forthcoming film Downriver Revival tracks down this forgotten gospel singer and allows her to hear her music for the first time in nearly 40 years. Here's a clip from the movie showing exactly that: Photo by quietdear Posted in A Touch [...]

Go. Mic Terror ft. Travis McCoy (of Gym Class Heroes) - Snow Globe "Let's write a fun song directing girls to shake it. But what else can they shake it like?" Winston Audio - Hey Ann About to release their first LP, Winston Audio is a rock band out of Atlanta. If you're tired of looking for new rock and only finding hipsters and blipsters this is for you.

shirley ann lee No idea how Numero Group continues to dig up this kind of gold on such a consistent basis, but the upcoming Downriver Revival comp -- the first installment in the label's new " Local Customs " series -- is one of their deepest and best hauls yet. The record features some of the sounds that were coming out of the basement of Ecorse, Michigan's Felton Williams between 1967 and 1981. Read about the history of Williams' various [...]
