The 1984 Hollywood novel, captivatingly read by Will Oldham. (Wurlitzer wrote the Two-Lane Blacktop screenplay for Monte Hellman, and Pat Garrett And Billy The Kid for Peckinpah, amongst other illustrious works.)
Top Detroit soul and gospel from Dave Hamilton’s studio, 1968-88, deep to funky.
His complete Motown recordings, 1964-71.
Touareg rock from Bamako, in the Tinariwen manner.
The ska originator in his 1964 prime; plus a knees-up Baba Brooks.
A double-header of booting, irresistible JA rhythm and blues.
This beautiful acoustic cut is previously unissued. Raw soulful lovers, with close-harmony backing, and double bass and guitar as irresistible as Egyptian Reggae. Terrific.
Opportunity knocking once. Mid-tempo doowop-ska. On the flip, the Sneer Towners, hardly a household name themselves.
