Detroit Soul: Real Soul Music From The Motor City

Detroit Soul is firmly back on the map. Years after Motown, years after Techno, the motor city is humming again with some of the best underground soul in the US. This excellent set does a great job of pulling together the rich range of current work from Detroit. Moving slightly past hip hop and dancefloor, tracks to go for the mellower, more neo soulful work. The sound of the set is wonderful, chilled out, not in a lazy way, but with a soulful vibe that takes us back to the days of Stevie and Syreeta. 11 cuts on 2LPs now available here.

Tracklisting:

1. Welcome

2. Truth - Dwele

Ras Michael - Love Thy Neighbour

Ras Michael and the Sons of Negus are a true foundation roots reggae band. In fact, I wouldn't even consider their blessed music to be one with reggae- they exemplify roots as its own genre. Real Nyahbinghi drumming, 100% original traditional Rastafari music. If you know Ras Michael, you know Ras Michael. If you don't know his work, you are in for a real treat.

Peace love and unity - spread JAH vibration...

14. Nite Safarie - Black Star Sound

A true historical landmark, Ghana Soundz: Afrobeat Funk & Fusion in 70's was produced by an Englishman named Miles Cleret who spent two years in Ghana hunting for rare master tapes and information about a sparsely documented and under-appreciated genre. He not only has fabulous ears, but also wrote the exhaustively detailed, infectiously enthusiastic liner notes.
During the 1960s, Highlife was the reigning musical craze in Ghana, but Western-derived rock and R & B influences were seeping in, creating a daringly experimental jazz-funk scene. Big bands combined home-grown drumming and chanting with cheeky, slapping bass lines, motel-bar organs, and guitars that wah-wahed their way from Muscle Shoals to Haight-shbury. These elements were typically, but not universally, augmented by braying horn sections whose soloists seemed to be channeling Miles and Bird. The closest African equivalent was Fela Anikulapo Kuti's huge, James Brownsian travelling mayhem machine, but even that priapic Nigerian icon's antics seem tame next to some of these tracks. --Christina Roden, Amazon.com

Part 1
Part 2

In 1963, the flight from Jamaica to Toronto was 8 hours. Today it’s 3 1/2. Countless people have made the dwindling journey over the years, but in the sixties and seventies there was a new breed of traveler: the finest ska, rocksteady, and reggae recording artists the West Indies have ever produced. We’re talking Studio One, Treasure Isle, Trojan, and WIRL veterans Jackie Mittoo, Johnnie Osbourne, Wayne McGhie, Lloyd Delpratt, The Mighty Pope, Noel Ellis, Jo-Jo Bennett, and many more. Arriving in their new Canadian home, these talented singers, songwriters, musicians, and performers simply did what came naturally to them. One by one, they hit the studio and captured some of the hardest tunes this side of Kingston.

Tracklist:

01 Jo-Jo and the Fugitives - "Fugitive Song"

02 Eddie Spencer - "If This Is Love (I'd Rather Be Lonely)"

03 Jo-Jo and the Fugitives - "Chips - Chicken - Banana Split"

04 Jackie Mittoo - "Grand Funk"

05 Lloyd Delpratt - "Together"

06 Cougars - "I Wish It Would Rain"

07 Johnnie Osbourne - "African Wake"

08 Ram - "Love Is the Answer"

09 Bob & Wisdom - "I Believe in Music"

10 The Sheiks - "Eternal Love"

11 Wayne McGhie & the Sounds of Joy - "Fire (She Need Water)"

12 Cougars - "Right On"

13 Eddie Spencer - "You're So Good to Me, Baby"

14 The Hitchikers feat. the Mighty Pope - "Mr. Fortune"

15 Noel Ellis -"Memories"

16 Wayne McGhie - "Here We Go Again"
