Bart Oostindie is one of Holland's finest songwriters. With his own blend of pop, jazz and alternative soul music he manages to hit you right in your soul. Make sure you buy this one for real, if you like it.
Super 400's latest album is a Major Effort from this sympathetic trio. Give this one some time to grow on you, it's definitely worth it. Your's truly's totally in love with this band. Hot damn!!!
The Loved Ones never had big success, but they sure had the songs for it. Better Do Right is filled with a tasty blend of blues, rock & soul in a mod-ish outfit. Gotta love it!
This '69 album by the greatest female singer of all time is everything you'd want it to be. It's got all the soul you can imagine, a lot of funky grooves and those blue notes that hit the spot.
Doyle had been playing quite some years (a.o. in The Fabulous Thunderbirds) before recording this album. He shows he can do more than playing the most beautiful blueslicks on this solo debut. Together with Wendy & Lisa he travels thru soul, funk, rock and more.
This is one funky-ass record. Gets even a bunch of librarians to a houseparty. Junior Parker also covers three tracks by The Beatles - all you samplers out there, listen closely to Taxman. Brilliant stuff. Comes from vinyl.
You just might recognize a couple of beats from this album. Baby Huey is one of the most sampled artists within the hip hop industry. Back in the '60s, the man himself poured out one soulfull song after another. Dig.
The subtitle "Dilla's Productions For Various Artists" says it all. Tracks by a.o. De La Soul, The Roots, Slum Village, Common, The Pharcyde and Amp Fiddler. Chillemundos.
In a perfect world everybody would have a couple of good funk compilations lying around. Just in case. And if so, Chains & Black Exhaust is one of the compilations that you couldn't miss out on. Ghetto phunkin', hypnotizin' and definitively ass shakin'.
Dreamer (1974) is one of the best albums Bobby 'Blue' Bland ever recorded. Moody, laid back and soulfull. The 'Lion of the Blues' hits the right note.
DBII's 2003 Welcome is the summum of Soul Rock. Gets even better every time you spin it. To me it has the same status as any record by Led Zeppelin. Need I say more?
With a line-up of Doyle Bramhall II, Charlie Sexton and the Double Trouble rhythm section, this sure is a can't-fail combo. DBII really shines on this 1992 Soul Rock album.
Sugarman 3 is one of the most funky groovin' combos to ever come out of NYC. To all old school ghetto funk junks: play this one ungodly loud and get to steppin'.
More feel good soul, this time from Sweden. The Solution has that funky ol' school approach this music needs. Try this one on your headphones and you'll be twistin'.
Top shelf Soul for y'all. Van Morisson's guitarist blends soul with hints of reggae and funk, which results in a real feel good record. People Gonna Talk's bound to move your hips.
3 and the Beast (2007) is Super 400's 3rd studio album. This threepiece sure fills their albums with stylish Soul Rock. New album will be out spring 2009.
DBII's 1999 album for RCA. Jellycream has everything you could wish for: excellent songwriting, soulfull vocals and rock with Tone.
