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.

Long before this show. Probably a result of a mix you did for Larry back then.
Avatar 10:12pm
Kris Holmes:

Wow Matt, that's funny, I haven't touched Mixcloud since I started this show I don't think.

Hi Chresti and NGH. Chresti you should be honored your name is now saved in my predictive text on my phone so I must have typed your name enough.

Little Danny:

Hey Kris, hey y'all
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:15pm
Matt from New Orleans:

I was saying to Danny that I think I recognized you a few times at the stomp over the years but my not wanting to seem like a weirdo fanboy kept me from approaching you.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:16pm
Matt from New Orleans:

Hi Danny. I was typing that when you showed up.

"Gandy Dancer" has been a longtime want of mine

Kris, I was so wiped out this afternoon, I fell asleep with a cup of coffee in my hand. But I woke right up when I heard Buddy Holly!

Carmichael:

Just re-watched The Commitments last night. Thought of this show.

chresti:

I am honored that your text predictor remembers me, Matt!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:29pm
Franco Twinkie:

I love the tinker-toy sound of the band behind Dean Jones.
  10:29pm
Carmichael:

Isn’t that strange? My phone predicts chresti, Gaylord, Therese, coelacanth and several more. Hoping that’s not bad, after listening to Mark Hurst.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:31pm
Franco Twinkie:

I worry about driving over speed bumps after listening to Mark Hurst.

JtotheK:

good evening, mr holmes. hi everybody.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:35pm
Little Danny:

Was this "You Are My Sunshine" based on any particular version in the charts at the time?
Avatar 10:36pm
Kris Holmes:

Yes. The Ray Charles?
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:36pm
Little Danny:

Ah, of course
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:38pm
Franco Twinkie:

It took me years not to ask myself that question.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:39pm
Little Danny:

definitely some fun little gems in the Hit Records catalog
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:44pm
JtotheK:

bobby brooks 'wise like solomon' is a good Hit Records 45. i tend to give a listen to any i come across.

Sitting on the sofa playing my bongos waiting for you to come home.

Interesting, Freddy King doing NOLA style session trying to catch some Otis Redding cash. Don't remember hearing that one before.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:48pm
JtotheK:

there's a version of tighten up on Hit Records, but the copy on discogs is priced at ... over 400 dollars, so...
Avatar 10:54pm
Kris Holmes:

that Tighten Up is great but actually legit rare
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:58pm
Little Danny:

Occasionally the Hit Records versions would really alter the arrangements of the original, but I think it was generally accidental. Trying to recall some of my faves right now
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:03pm
Little Danny:

The Chords' "Have You Seen Mother Baby Standing In The Shadows" on Hit is a shredder
  11:04pm
Carmichael:

I told the story, yeah? Jimmy Smith lived right down the lane out here. We would walk up into his barn full of organs, and he played them “to make sure they still worked”. A great old soul.
  11:06pm
Dean:

My Jimmy Smith story: I caught a couple shows at Catalina Bar & Grill in Hollywood. Two drink minimum. I was seated front row center. When my second martini arrived, Jimmy tells me from the stage, "Cut back on the martinis!"
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:08pm
Little Danny:

Well, Dean, he was right wasn't he?
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:10pm
Little Danny:

GREAT Muddy side
  11:10pm
Dean:

Not that night. Other nights? Perhaps...
  11:12pm
Carmichael:

That guy was so personable. He asked some kid once, “Who you been listening to?” He told him he just discovered Booker T, and he immediately played a version of Time is Tight. I laughed and applauded.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:13pm
JtotheK:

Vodka or Gin martini, Dean?
  11:14pm
Dean:

Gin, of course.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:18pm
chresti:

Whoa! Martinis at the Catalina, high roller!

still b/p:

I'm suddenly a fan of gin and tonic. Conversion, after occasional samplings over the years, occurred on a mellow Maine island holiday a few weeks ago when I was given one right after a peanut butter and jelly sandwich on the porch. It was reported here in the comments as it happened! Say amen!
  11:20pm
Dean:

The old Catalina, before the move to Hollywood Blvd., where I've never been.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:20pm
nostrangerer:

That was sneaky, I'm thinking wow who is this, must be who the 'birds copped their version from . . . LOL.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:24pm
Little Danny:

I knew the Bobby Bland (original?) version of "I'll Take Care of You," but I'd never heard Wright's. Great!
Avatar 11:27pm
Kris Holmes:

it's a great song

Thanks Kris! I'm going to bed-home, goodnight folks!
