I haven't heard the 'brown eyed soul' comp; but I can heartily recommend the three volumes of 'dave godin's deep soul treasures' on Kent records. excellent music, and equally excellent comprehensive liner notes. they focus on mostly late 60s-mid 70s mid-tempo soul that's quite emotive - lots of heartbreak along with a sprinkle of intense social commentary (e.g., 'syl johnson's 'is it because i'm black'). most of the music is not from major labels (e.g., tiger, minit, imperial, cutrom, canyon...). (i'm also curious about 'paocho boogie' - so if anyone has any info...) cheers, whit On Mon, 9 Dec 2002, William York wrote:
Hey,
This isn't really list material, but what the heck. I figure maybe someone here might be interested or know about this. I'm wondering if people have any thoughts on the "Brown Eyed Soul" set on Rhino from a few years back. I recently heard the song "The Entertainer" by Tony Clarke, which I love, and have long been interested in or a fan of some of the other music that fits in on this set (eg, Johnny Guitar Watson).
Also, any recommendations for old LA R&B or doo-wop, or opinions on the "Pachoco Boogie" comp. on Arhoolie.would be mucho wlecome, offlist or otherwise.
Thanks,
