Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful record.
Or this:
Staples Singers
I’ll Take You There
Or even this
Leave some space in the music. Let it breathe. Don’t crowd folks.
My God. Why wasn’t I informed of this earlier?
Listen to it again just to make sure.
Dr Moose’s advice.
Every home should have a Bill WIthers Greatest Hits in it.
The very best non-Stax Stax record.
her toes were so pretty
Little Feat
Long Distance Love
You think the drummer’s just getting carried away… wrong. He knows what he’s doing.
Curtis’s guitar, as usual, a model of economy.
Doesn’t even need words.
On a rather OTT album, this spare little funkfest basically consists of Sheila E giving it rice. All sorts of little things going on, and yet… nothing out of place.
One for @black-type, who like me will like this almost as much as “Ah Nerr” (or indeed “Let’s Gerr Crazy”)
Sometimes it snerrs in April, Moose. But that’s just a sarn o’ the tarms.
Ah knerrr. Ternaaght I’m gonna party like it’s Narnteen Narnty Naaaarn.
Really under-rated (or at least under-mentioned LP, that. I Wish U Heaven is one of my favourite Purple tracks. Or was it Peach and Black? No, definitely purple. His favourite colours all sound like bruises now I think of it…
Etta James.
(Good Rockin’ Daddy)
Ian Dury & The Blockheads.
(Inbetweenies)
MFSB, the house band of Philadelphia’s Sigma Sound Studios.
So, the singer’s usually the most important piece for me, but this instrumental is just glorious.
EDIT: reading the youtube comments now… I see some rappers talked over this. Well duh, wouldn’t you?
Allman Brothers

At their America-obsessed bubblegum pop peak, 10cc produced this beauty.
