Any Major Dude With Half A Heart
The second SAVED! compilation gets righteous on your asses with a churchful of glorious '70s soul – and it does so without going for the easy option of all those Stevie Wonder songs about God being a zillion lightyears away with whom you should have a talk (and did George Michael realise that he was singing a song of praise to God when he had a hit with Mary J Blige?). While neither Stevie, Aretha nor Marvin feature here, Al Green does, though with a song that precedes his lesser Reverend Green phase. And, of course, Curtis Mayfield [...]
The Passion of the Weiss
It might be a late Wednesday morning, but no time is a bad one to listen to Honey Cone's "Sunday Morning People." I'm of the mindset that Motown-influenced, Northern Soul released in 1970 on the Holland-Dozier run imprint, Hot Wax Recordings, can rarely be anything less than brilliant. And "Sunday Morning People" is no exception, with the Los Angeles all-girl trio excoriating hypocritical Christians for going to church all Sunday and "hating their neighbor all week." Fuzzy guitars churn, lead singer Edna Wright sings with righteous fury, the Honey Cone back-up singers coo with a sweetness that tops even Honey [...]

Holy fuck.. it's like a million degrees in San Francisco right now. The kind of heat that makes dogs lie down under trees, girls put on loose summer dresses and cold beer taste like water taste like gold (if gold tasted good). And with all that comes good soul music to blast as loud as you can from your little stereo on the front stoop. Honey Cone were together for only four years back in the early seventies but were also the best thing Hot Wax Records put out and everyone knew it. Shelly Clark had sung with [...]

very cool to see dave post that questlove sample montage earlier today, taken from gilles peterson's radio one program back in 2005...thought i'd one up him though, & post the same mix, only broken up...obviously, audiophiles like dg don't require the extra help, but for the rest of us, the separate tracks make the playlist a little easier to follow...i also included full length versions of a few of my favorites from the mix below, so make sure to check those out as well. download: questlove - the lesson.zip [...]

The Father Of Delta Blues , Charley Patton , had eight wives, never stayed in one place for too long, drank and smoked excessively - it was said he was jailed at least once. He influenced Son House, Bukka White, Howlin' Wolf, Robert Johnson, Muddy Waters, John Lee Hooker, Elmore James and was one of the idiom's first showmen, playing the guitar behind his back or between his knees, banging it like a drum. This incredible twelve page R. Crumb comic based on Robert Palmer's Deep Blues tells the whole story: Charley Patton by R. [...]

You'd think we'd use our big-first-day post-spree to turn you on to some unknown, unbelievable new band that you've never heard before. And in a way, we are--except that our "new band" broke up thirty years ago, and has been largely ignored by pretty much everyone, from the rock-crit fraternity to the new-school music bloggers. In fact, until a few weeks ago, we hadn't heard of Honey Cone, an all-female R&B trio from the early '70s that's been largely ignored by the rock-crit canon. Made up of three '60s session singers--Edna Wright, Shellie Clark and Carolyn Willis--Honey Cone was formed [...]
