Superb recordings for Delroy Wright’s Live & Learn label, originally released as Jah Love in 1983. Post-Yabby You, post-Gunman.
Laid down at Channel One, with the Roots Radics and High Times bands, and The Tamlins on backing vocals; mixed by Scientist.

All Buddy Killen’s productions for the Lloyd, Dial, Philips and Happy Tiger labels, between 1965-71. Some great dancers… but Kelly’s slow, Southern soul is just killer.

Deep soul from the Minaret label, out of Florida, with an early Candi Staton, and the great Doris Allen.

Mass, full-voice singing from the rural South of the US. A stirring, tearful, ancient, strange, kind of Gospel. Ornette called it ‘breath music. They’re changing the sound with their emotions.’

Beautiful, early-seventies, singer-songwriter, orchestral, countrified pop. The challenges of this second album put her back on heroin: it was her last.

An unnerving ride on Yabby You’s almighty Conquering Lion rhythm — a darkly atmospheric tale of pestilence and the dark arts, our kind of Christmas Carol. Crowning a great year for Digikiller, this is essential.

The soul legend, backed by Drive-By Truckers and Spooner Oldham.
