The Falcons - You're So Fine : The Falcons' Story Part One (Flick 8005)

"The Falcons were certainly one of the most underrated and unappreciated of the hundreds of vocal groups who recorded rhythm and blues in the mid-to-late 1950's. Usually ignpred by ardent fans of r&b group harmony who preferred the smooth stylings of the Moonglows, Five Keys, or Spaniels to the rougher, gospel-tinged tones of the Falcons, the guys from Detroit are more often venerated for the great lead singers who once sang with the group. How many other r&b groups could boast both an Eddie Floyd and a Wilson Pickett, not to mention the great Joe Stubbs, lead on "You're So Fine," or Mack Rice, later of "Mustang Sally" fame?...

This, the first Falcons' album ever, spotlights the versatility and talent of Eddie Floyd and Joe Stubbs, two powerful lead voices who could shine on any kind of r&b songs. Whether it be traditional group harmony ballads, jumps, or the gospel-influenced melodies of "You're Mine" or "You're So Fine," the raw talent and professionalism of the group are evident....[T]his LP contains ten unreleased songs by the group from their first recording sessions in the late fifties." (Cover Notes)

"Often credited as having cut the first true soul record in 1959 with "You're So Fine," a host of '60s soul stars called themselves Falcons at one time or another, including founder Eddie Floyd, Wilson Pickett, Sir Mack Rice, and 100 Proof Aged in Soul's Joe Stubbs. Originally an integrated R&B group headed by Floyd, the Falcons debuted on Mercury in 1955. Under the production aegis of Robert West, the Falcons' sound became more gospel-based as time passed, and with Stubbs as lead, the seminal "You're So Fine" was a major hit in 1959." - Bill Dahl

Rare & killer r&b from Detroit's Falcons, whom, retrospectively, can easily be considered something of an early soul supergroup. 320 vinyl rip by yours truly.

(V/A) -- Unholy Hymns: Written in Blood Vol. 6 (Left-Handed Label, 2011)

As Samhain rapidly approaches, the one & only Nate Ashley has just dropped off a surprise 6th volume in his essential Written In Blood soundtrack series. Dig:

"In keeping with the rest of the Written In Blood series, Unholy Hymns offers more classic, out-of-print, or unreleased horror soundtrack music. Taken from DVD or VHS sources when unattainable elsewhere; I tried to get the best quality available to provide an enjoyable listening exprience for the music connoisseur. Charles Berstein and Stelvio Cipriani were stand out composers for me on this volume, while Luchi De Jesus's track "Diggin' For Parts" proved to be nearly impossible to find, but worth every funky second. Hope you have a horribly fun time with these sinfully good songs." ~ Nate

(V/A) -- Black Is The Color Of My True Loves Hair - Norwegian Folk Jazz 1971-77 (Plastic Strip, 2009)

"...[T]his release aims to present the early folk jazz scene in Norway between the years 1971-1977, when the Norwegian folk song heritage was interpreted in different progressive ways by some of Norway’s top musicians.?This compilation contains music from the different folk jazz LP releases by Anne Karin Tønset & Harald Gundhus Å de va du, å de va je; Various artists Østerdalsmusikk; Egil ‘Bop’ Johansen Samse tak!I; Roy Hellvin Roy Hellvin; Arne Domnérus Sekstett Ja, vi älskar; Søyr Søyr; Christian Eggen Ufuge as well as unreleased recordings by Egil Kapstad and Helge Hurum & Birgitte Grimstad taken from the NRK Radio Archives.

The music ranges from the beautiful trio recordings by Egil Kapstad and Roy Hellvin to the psych excursions by Egil "Bop" Johansen with Terje Rypdal on fuzzrock madness. You will hear some obscure dancefloor fillers by Østerdalsmusikk and Anne Karine Tønset & Harald Gundhus, the latin grooves of the band Søyr and for the first time you will get to listen to banned jazz version of the Norwegian national anthem Ja vi elsker by Arne Domnerus Sextett which caused a national outcry when it first was released in 1976. ?But the jazz musicians found in this compilation weren't the first musicians to reclaim traditional Norwegian folk music in a modern context: Norwegian classical composers like Edvard Grieg and Harald Sæverud had already been diggin` in the crates and used folk melodies in their compositions since the late 19th century. The first Norwegian folk jazz tune was recorded way back in 1929: Norwegian Jazz fantasy part 1 & 2 by Kristian Hauger Jazzorkester. A major breakthrough occurred in 1963 when Swedish pianist Jan Johansson released the album Jazz på svenska (Jazz in Swedish) - combining modal jazz improvisations with Swedish folk songs."(Plastic Strip)

A nicely rewarding set of of groovy 70s, folk-inspired jazz compositions out of Norway. This fine 320 rip was kindly thrown this way by none other than owlqaeda, supreme reigning champion of musical web-fu, after helping him out with a some small bit of amateur typography on his killer new mixtape. Big thanks friend for keeping me afloat with this -- October has been tough on me, and its its been a minute since I've managed to up a proper rip. Enjoy.

...And more vinyl from ye olde personal stash coming up in the next few days.

Aquarium Drunkard Presents :: Ghost Capital II (A Mixtape)

Hey friends, this here's the second mixtape I've had the honor of curating for Aquarium Drunkard . This time, I thought I'd try to pretend that I'm a regular DJ on their weekly show. A generous helping of new & favorite rock, folk & soul rotation from ye olde home studio (aka my living room). The way I see it, AD blends dusty golden grooves and real-time cool with such admirable integrity, that I thought it would be fun to try my hand at it too. A good excuse to flip the script on myself. Not sure I really pulled it off, per se, but I sure had a good time trying. Dan Melchior, Mikal Cronin, Moon Duo, Mariee Sioux, and my pal Mike Coykendall lend their blessed talents to the more contemporary angle. (And FYI - Mike's song is as-of-yet unreleased. It's featured his excellent new album, which he's currently shopping around to various labels, etc.) At times, the flow does embody something of a somber mood. Just couldn't be helped. I do hope, for better or worse, that the downer vibe does resonate with some of you readers. And if you have Sirius/XM access you can tune to AD's weekly program this Friday at noon. I'm totally hosting the show. Also, big ups to the benevolent Owl for throwing me the Gene Clark joint. And love to Eugene Von Bruenchenhein for the stunning image up yonder. Word.

"Our mixtape series returns with our second set featuring Nick Barbery of the Portland, OR based Ghost Capital. Find his first entry, here. With an ear bent toward the obscure and out-of-print, digging globally, Ghost Capital mines the secret shafts of psych, folk, blues and beyond."

Ghost Capital is my guest, this Friday, during the second hour of the AD show on SIRIUS/XMU.

V/A - Old-Country Music in a New Land: Folk Music of Immigrants from Europe and the Near East (New World Records, NW 264)

"...For years [by the 1920's] foreign-language records had contained occasional examples of rural vernacular music, but not until record companies discovered the music of souther rural blacks and whites was there extensive recording of the folk music of foreign-born Americans. It marked a radical departure from both the music available from abroad and earlier record-company offerings. By the late twenties foreign-language record catalogs had become heavily augmented by fiddlers, bagpipers, rough voiced singers, plain-voiced choirs, village "orchestras", and other representatives of a bevy of authentic folk styles that were being documented sparsely, if at all, in the Old World. many of these records are priceless documents of genres and traditions virtually extinct today. The best of these recordings represent not only styles that flourished at the time of recording but even styles that preceded those by decades or centuries." (Dick Spotswood, from the liner notes)

Precious gems in 78rpms. Raw folk revelations from many quarters of the "Old World". Illuminating notes & essays from Dick Spotswood & Oscar Handlin. 320 vinyl rip by yours truly.

America.

Never forget 9/11's worst music video.

This Paul Simon performance at today's NYC 9/11 memorial, however, is the real thing.

As for my part, I'm right now remembering that I had a noon radio show on WXJM back on Sept. 11. Was unsure what to do with it, so I played this prewar gospel disc & John Fahey's America while I watched the news. It was the only music on the fm dial.

The Gospel:


America:
