Favoriting The Long Way Home with Kris Holmes: Playlist from June 23, 2020 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.

Nope, Governor refuses to shut down, we're just apparently gonna live with the virus forever now :(

He did encourage people to stay home today. Just won’t mandate it.

This is Texas, we don't listen to "encouragements"!!!

Jugo De Pina is maybe my favourite mexi-cumbia. Haven't met a version I disliked.

I remember hearing this for the first time on The Chess Story box set and loving it
Avatar 10:23pm
Kris Holmes:

it's recorded loud, it might have been distorting the cartridge!!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:25pm
Matt from New Orleans:

I got the box about 20 years ago for the blues as that was where my interest lay at the time but I discovered a whole bunch of other fantastic music I’d never heard before.
Avatar 10:27pm
Kris Holmes:

Chess is such a diverse & incredible catalog, so much more than Muddy, Chuck & The Wolf
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:30pm
Matt from New Orleans:

I got it after reading Spinning Blues into Gold. One of my best purchases. I found it at a record store and even though it was OOP as they only made 10K it was being sold at the already to me outrageous retail price. I used some of my college graduation gifts to buy it.

Heya Kris and influencers.

Loved that Spinning Blues book, I don't even know if I remember the box set you're talking about

Says it’s a European release but I definitely bought a US issue.

Carmichael:

I don’t have the Chess box, dangit. Got the Cobra biox and the Paula/Jewel box though.
Avatar 10:39pm
Kris Holmes:

Looks killer, definitely don't have it
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:42pm
Matt from New Orleans:

Allmusic’s review from back then confirms that it was import only.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:47pm
Matt from New Orleans:

I’m enjoying this garage rock section
Avatar 10:48pm
Kris Holmes:

Thanks, some weirdos I don't get to play often
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:49pm
Matt from New Orleans:

Whomever put this on Discogs labeled this Funk/Soul. Does the flip more resemble that?
  10:49pm
Carmichael:

Little Bit O Soul was the big Music Explosion hit?
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:50pm
Matt from New Orleans:

Yes Carmichael
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:51pm
Matt from New Orleans:

The vinyl for Carlo’s is really groovy
Avatar 10:55pm
Kris Holmes:

Which one says Funk/Soul Matt?
Carlo's label does look cool

Judd & Lisa

Kris Holmes:

Nah, not funk/soul iirc
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:58pm
Matt from New Orleans:

I figured as much. I guess that sometimes happens when most everything is user generated.

Kris Holmes:

Some people have no clue

Kris Holmes:

But to be sure I'll check the flip tomorrow, it may have aspects of blue eyed soul or something

Love that Excello sound
  11:05pm
Carmichael:

I didn’t know there was an Excello sound. I have Slim Harpo doing Don’t Start Crying Now on Excello. Did sound the same, though.

They were mostly recorded in Crowley, LA by JD Miller

He could definitely pass for James Brown’s brother
Avatar 11:13pm
Kris Holmes:

yes, borrowed heavily
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:14pm

I see it mentioned on his discogs but my first thought when seeing his photo was being reminded of James’ infamous mug shot.

Picture sleeve with an almost jump suit looking outfit?
Avatar 11:34pm
Kris Holmes:

not sure, this is a white label promo in company sleeve
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:34pm
Matt from New Orleans:

The one I referenced is an EP www.discogs.com...
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:36pm
Matt from New Orleans:

I think the US market should have embraced the picture sleeve but I guess it cost more.
