243. YOU GOT MY MIND MESSED UP by James Carr

243. YOU GOT MY MIND MESSED UP by James Carr

So a couple of nights ago we were watching the final episode of the TV show Hijack. During the final scene and while the end credits were rolling I was introduced to one of the finest soul singers of our time. James? No. Aretha? No. Otis? No. It was James

218. THE HONEYDRIPPERS, VOL. 1 (self-titled)

This 1984 EP of covers was a side project for Led Zeppelin (previously covered here) frontman Robert Plant as a sort of tribute to 1950s rhythm and blues tunes. Though he started the Honeydrippers band in 1981, this album was recorded in 1984 with a different lineup, including his former

24. COMING HOME by Leon Bridges

The 2015 debut album by Texas’ own Leon Bridges will bring you straight back to the 1950’s and 60’s - the era of Sam Cooke and sweet, soulful rhythm and blues. From Bridges’ voice, to the arrangement and instrumentation and even his stage presence, this is throw-back music
