Favoriting The Long Way Home with Kris Holmes: Playlist from May 1, 2018 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.

pre-internet i probably had fewer lists about movies to watch and books to read and records to check out. now i have lots of lists, queues, etc ... and add more than i can keep up with. or maybe i had the same amount of lists, just the lists were ... slightly more manageable.

Great record by another artist never heard before!

the only queues I have for music, movies, and reading are in my brain. If I can't remember it, it's probably not worth remembering.

Ronnie Love's 1960 disc does indeed seem to be the first version. Man, I thought it was a much older song
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:37pm

re: bunker hill ... here is internet research -- "David Walker (May 5, 1941 – March 12, 1986), better known by his stage name Bunker Hill, was an American rhythm & blues, rock and gospel singer. ... Adopting the pseudonym Bunker Hill so as not to lose his position with the Mighty Clouds of Joy, he recorded several tracks with a band including Link Wray on guitar."

ah, that's it, he was a gospel guy, exactly what i was thinking of, thanks
