Favoriting The Long Way Home with Kris Holmes: Playlist from October 10, 2023 Favoriting

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

Twenty years of dusty fingers, frayed cuticles, & upper respiratory infections β€” from record digging and DJing around the globe β€” 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.

Kris what are the chances that next year you spin nothing but 10" records for the 'unsteady' week? Asking in part because I procured 2 10" records this week.

Not that I have many (likely less than a dozen) but the Cal Tjader is a doozy. The 2 recent finds were a Machito and a Raymond Scott.

I hope you enjoy access to the wonderful jazz sounds of KRTU in San Antonio. I did a night show there back in the day when they let the miscreants play rock n roll at night

KRTU is pretty great still, was listening in the car this weekend actually!
