I've only heard two songs and my first impression is that trying to get this album across on the radio as less than a whole won't be easy for those unfamiliar with Beth Orton. This song completely envelops me, though. It's beautiful and fragile and the musical backing - somewhat on the jazz periphery - is perfect for this song. I've listened to it four times in a row now and it draws me in more each time. Will it top her album, Central Reservation? Not likely. Not many albums can. But I'm looking forward to hearing it in its entirety to find out.

My sister and ex-brother-in-law gave this album to me for Christmas and when I unwrapped it, I noticed it had no shrink-wrap. They then volunteered that they decided to listen to it while wrapping presents. I can't say I blame them.

Your basic song referencing Steve Cropper, Wussy, Big Star, Lou Reed, a couple of classic songs, and a couple of classic albums all in the span of two minutes with infectious musical backing drawing from the good part of seventies rock and roll.

Written by Shelby Lynne and featuring Ben Peeler on mandolin and Weissenborn guitar and Maxine Waters on piano.

Reissue of the Memphis band's 2011 album. Written by Greg Cartwright.

Ther song title says it all. Written by Rick Miller.

Music bed. Instrumental written by Richard Evans.

1967 Verve mono non-LP single written by Jerry Ragovoy and Mort Shuman.

Gregg Allman was in fine voice near the end of his life and this final album was a fitting coda to an illustrious music career. This track was written by Willie Dixon.

Terrific version of the song associated with Percy Sledge and written by Steve Davis. Recorded in 1972 for Bobby Patterson and Jerry Strickland's Soul Power label. Arranged by Bobby Patterson.

Music bed. Instrumental composition by Jimmy Smith.

Written by Jimmy Bishop, arranged by the great Bobby Martin, and recorded in 1970 for the Josie label. They sold well locally in Philadelphia but never had a bonafide hit over the course of seventeen singles. This song also appears on their 1970 debut (and also last) full-length album, 'Love.'

Really great version of the Aretha Franklin song recorded in 1976. "Call in the Cape Crusader, Green Hornet, Kato too."

Chess single from 1967. She was ordained as a minister in 1989 and founded More Like Christ Ministries in Chicago in 2003. "Everybody, do it with confidence!"

Written by Donald Storball and recorded in 1966 for the Karen label. If only all bass lines could be like this.

This was from the Seattle soul and funk trio's debut album. Influenced by The Meters, Booker T. & the MGs, and (you guessed it based on this song title) Al Green among others. Wed 10/5-Sun 10/9 Delvon Lamarr Organ Trio – Jazz St. Louis. Highly recommended.

A perennial M2M favorite. Written by Homer Banks, Raymond Jackson, and Carl Hampton and recorded in 1974 for the Spring label. There are great soul cheating songs and there are great soul vocals. This is both.

This is Dr. John's final album and was recorded the year he died in 2019. Aaron Neville and Katie Pruitt sing some of the verses of this Traveling Wilburys song. You can hear his voice and phrasing remained strong to the very end.
