Favoriting The Long Way Home with Kris Holmes: Playlist from August 23, 2022 Favoriting

Kris Holmes's avatar View Kris Holmes's profile Favoriting

Twenty years of dusty fingers, frayed cuticles, & upper respiratory infections — from record digging and DJing around the globe — coalesces into a 2-hour journey through Rhythm & Blues, Soul, Funk, Jazz, Blues, Latin, Rock & Roll, and all points in between. Your speakers will be head-nodding, toe-tapping & even two-stepping to this vintage 45rpm party in no time. Hear favorite songs you didn't know were your favorites, aural treats & record-world problems from the vinyl side of life.

Nice use of those blues riffs by Ray Sharpe.

Good Tuesday, Matt and all, which I thought was a good Wednesday until an hour ago. Riki likely keeps track of the weekdays better than I do.

So great to see Gary U.S. Bonds at the ponderosa stomp!
Avatar 10:39pm

Gimme little Sign...serious ear worm a few months ago, and a couple years ago, too. Just been refueled now probably for more solos at the wheel.

Matt from New Orleans:

Thanks Chris. I am looking forward to the alpha boxes as it will mean less rockabilly.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:42pm
Matt from New Orleans:

And garage though not as many garage records tonight
Avatar 11:42pm
Kris Holmes:

Ha, yeah, there was a fair bit of that in that hoarder stash, sorry Matt
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:45pm
Matt from New Orleans:

No worries Kris. At one point in my life, I really enjoyed that sound. Swamp pop is as close as I can get these days. Just noticed I spelled your name wrong. Maybe that was an unconscious passive aggressive act or I’m just tired. 😂

Kris Holmes:

You wouldn't be the first Matt
Avatar 11:47pm
Kris Holmes:

I'm really going to have to scroll back to see where we were up to in the alphabet though!!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:47pm
Matt from New Orleans:

I have zero recollection
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:50pm
WR:

That organ break was so corny, gotta laugh, and dance.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:50pm
Matt from New Orleans:

I always associate the band with Texas and forget they’re from Michigan
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:51pm
Candy-O'67:

Matt, didn't they start out in San Antonio? I thought I read that
Avatar 11:51pm
Kris Holmes:

Yeah but with San Antonio connections
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:51pm
Candy-O'67:

And then moved to Michigan
Avatar 11:52pm
Kris Holmes:

Getting ready to sign off team, thanks for being here!!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:52pm
Candy-O'67:

Either way, love them
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:53pm
Candy-O'67:

Night, Kris!! Thx for another great show!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:57pm
WR:

I think this is a first, which is amazing considering most always playing 45s.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:59pm
Candy-O'67:

Well, the sound went out the last. 5 minutes or so in middle of James Brown song
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:00am
WR:

I hear it playing the end grooves.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:01am
Candy-O'67:

I think Kris fell asleep
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:03am

Thank you, Kris!
