Groovin' with the Soulful Strings
December was a busy month for me so I haven't had much time for the blog but hopefully in '06 I can pick up my pace again.
I wanted to share this record not only because the music is good, but also because it's on a pretty cool format. It's a 7 inch 33 1/3 record for jukeboxes. The songs have all been shortened to fit on the smaller format record but I'm willing to make that sacrifice to get the cool Jukebox insert cards and miniature artwork that came with it.
The album contains mostly covers of pop songs from the day and was released on the Cadet label (one of my personal favorites.) Some of the music is a little too easy listening for me but overall it retains a funky quality and the musicianship is top-notch. I uploaded the mp3's for Burning Spear and Comin' Home Baby because they are the funkiest tracks. I also like All Blues a lot.

Where is burning spear? False ads,bud!
"false ads"?!?! I do this blog to share music with people. The mp3 is missing because my website has been inundated with traffic from leech audio websites driving my out-of-pocket cost through the roof. I am trying to find a way to "hide" my mp3s from these sites and still share it with strangers like you. There was a problem with my server and the audio was unavailable temporarily. It's now fixed and you can download any mp3 you want now. Thanks for your understanding.
cool...I have the regular original LP format on vinyl myself...
