Gonna be a nasty hangover tomorrow.
Id like to thank the wire for introducing me to the great bill withers:
Spotify algorithm is amazing, discovered bobby bland
YES!Not exactly a huge leap from Bill Withers! Sounds like you're getting sent the '70s soul playlist. Wait'll it lines you up with Bobby Womack (Across 110th Street, Woman's Gotta Have It, etc )...
The bass on this sits so far back on the beat it's almost lying flat:
Hopefully it also sorts you out with the rest of the genre staples: Otis Redding, Al Green, Curtis Mayfield, Donny Hathaway, The Meters, Aretha (anything on Atlantic, but her Live at the Fillmore West record with King Curtis' band and a cameo by Ray Charles is mind blowing - Bernard Purdie on drums is a wizard of feel), Dusty Springfield's American records (also on Atlantic), '60s/'70s Stevie Wonder (his '80s stuff doesn't grab me), Sam Cooke, and Marvin Gaye and so many more that I've forgotten. Come to think of it, anything on Motown with the Funk Brothers band, or on Stax/Volt with the Booker T band, or Atlantic with the Memphis or Muscle Shoals boys is worth a listen; those bands and the 'in the room' way most of those records were recorded make almost any artist sound great.
I came to soul later in life, mostly because I started playing bass and no genre has better players. Jamerson, Babbitt, Jemmott, Dunn, Rainey, Cogbill and so many more. There's an energy about the way a lot of these records were cut, where the singer would give the band the basic run through, keys and changes, and they'd mostly improvise their own parts on the spot, and then record together in a room so they were all bouncing off each other. There's a great Atlantic compilation out there call something like "Greatest Sweat-soaked Soul Songs" that captures the energy and urgency of a lot of those recordings...
YES!
It started with the wire and bill withers, I listen to spotify while cooking, and it just started playing all this great stuff
been listening to bill withers, Otis redding, Al green, curtis mayfield, sam cooke, also been on a huge bobby bland trip lately, his voice is amazing
Love any/all soul from the 60's-70s
Will check out the others on the list
Also surprised by how good the speakers are on modern phones...
