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.

The Long Way Home with Kris Holmes presents Southern Northern – A Hard Soul Primer: A collection of uptempo, raw, throat shrapnel soul sounds from the currently oh so unhip Hard Soul genre. South, North, East & West, the 1960s soul scene saw any number of gospel refugees, southern soul belters & raw voiced rhythm & blues wonders laying down hundreds of recordings in an uptempo raw soul style. Today these records lie neglected & ignored, pushed to the background by the oh so hip & smoothed out Northern Soul, Modern Soul & Sweet Soul trends. Hopefully this compilation of fantastic tracks doesn’t suffer the same fate. Lovingly chosen & recorded from all original 45s by DJ Kris Holmes, host of The Long Way Home on WFMU’s Give The Drummer Radio.
