Favoriting The Long Way Home with Kris Holmes: Playlist from March 11, 2025 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.

I'm looking forward to hearing tracks from Kris's premium, "In Case You Missed It." It's a collection of under-appreciated Soul 45s!! -- and it'll be yours if you pledge $75!

Outsider psych is a big thing. Do soul collectors talk about outsider soul?

yes we do
Avatar ♥ 11:15pm
Tony Coulter:

Aha! I have very few soul 45s, but one I do have I've always thought of as outsider soul: Clarence Ashe's "Why Have I Had So Much Trouble." The lyrics are really strange.
