if anybody is interested in Philly, there is a big possibility "Soul Recession" will be played this evening on Solar Radio between 6pm and 9pm on the David Nathan programme. In addition there will be an interview with legandary Philly musician, writer, producer, arranger Bobby Eli! Here is a part video, it's at the top:
The 'radio news announcement' will probably not be on the mix when broadcast tonight. The track was cut last September with some of the original Philly musicians heard on countless records from the 1960's/70's. This is a modern production, with throwbacks to TSOP. Earl Youngs' drumming techniques are clearly a defining sound in the mid 70's Salsoul sound, and we have it, right here on this and 3 other cuts we did in the studio. "Soul Recession" was written by Carl Dixon, Bobby Eli and Chiquita Green. Bobby features on one of the guitars, and Chiquita on backing vocals and tambourine - out of this world. This track has a John Morales and Tom Moulton mix too, so plenty of variety with the production etc.
The week before I flew out to Philly, 'Double Exposure' were contemplating the future. At that stage, we had the ideas and basic groove for the track and lyric ideas only. One phone call to them, and they were straight into the studio to be involved with the track.
They have put some of their signature harmonies on the recording and are hoping that this may open up opportunities for live performances and more studio work. There are more songs in our arsenal, so let's see whether or not this track can raise the bar with current soul music trends and generate some positive feedback.
