In Your Opinion

Posted

So which northern record (ancient or modern) do you think has the best Horn Section, full on everything but the kitchen sink kind of Horn Section.

If you can attach a soundfile or refosoul link go ahead.

I think The Charisma Band - Ain't nothing like your love, is way up there (and the strings are excellent as well)

Footnote, to me sen:

As soon as I get sick and tired of oldies, hearing the same old fookin records, I get a blast of some thing like Jerry Cook's version of : I hurt on the other side" and it makes me want to smother my self in oldies and beautifully suffocate in that tremendous energy and passion that is soul!

It's a great day today, St George's day, I am a proud Englishman, the sun is shining and our lass fancied a shag before going to work, which is nice. :thumbsup:

Bobby Bland - Honey Child has amazing blasting horns.

Play that fooker as loud as you can!

Good shout, Steve

:lol: Tis Simon old chap

Im Steve,I was signing off,sorry for the confusion its my age Simon,cheers Steve

So going by this statement you had bit of a horn section yourself this morning? :thumbsup:

Maurice Williams - Being without you, has a great break.

Little Ritchie - Just Another Heartache overall for me though.

I'm a fan of slightly rubbish horn playing. Sometimes just behind the beat or out of unison.

A particular record springs to mind - "Girl Watcher" by The O'Kaysions.

Curtis Mayfield takes some beatin' ... Move on up towards your destination, though you may find, from time to time, complications ... (Give it to me horns) :lol:

A good shout not rubbish subtle and slightly muted maybe .

For me Thumb a ride and that sax break never fails to hit the spot .

Not exactly horns but the sax break in Jnr Walkers Roadrunner gives me shivers...... :thumbsup:

How about The Majestics

.....god I love that so much it hurts.

Apart from the horns being out of tune :lol: ....great record though :ohmy:

Having just listened to it two minutes ago, I've decided it's 'Who you gonna love' by The Accents. Mind you, before that it was 'Look Away' by Garnet Mimms which has a sublime latin-style horn section.

What'll it be in the next five minutes? (If my boss catches me with headphones on, the sack probably)

Executive 4 good think going - middle and end bst of the lot IMO

:thumbsup:

Tune up - J Walker

Rick

Liz Verdi - You Let Him Get Away

With if I think the sound of French Horns! Ooh I love horny records :thumbsup::D

So many of Dave Hamilton's productions seem to feature such crisp, loud horns - I guess Black Detroit must have had a hell of a lot of good school marching bands in the 60's!

Three examples :-

Little Ann - What Can I Do

Tobi Lark - Challenge My Love

Dotty & Millie - Talkin' Bout My Baby

"A good shout not rubbish subtle and slightly muted maybe". Sorry Mark S but there's nothing subtle and slightly muted about "Girl Watcher". The horn section sound like a bunch of er, horny drunks. Have you heard the original "Boy Watcher" by Ginger Thompson? The horns play the same parts straight and timidly and it's not half as much fun. In my opinion...

The Q That the way brilliant horns 100mph though gigs

Oh i wish i could do sound files on here!!

TRUST ME ON THIS ONE!!

Imberboy, work your magic for me please.

LEE ROGERS GO-GO GIRL....NOW THAT'S WHAT I CALL A HORN SECTION!!! POWER POWER POWER, FOOKIN'L FIRE

I've always liked (for some reason) the horns on Nicky C and the Chateaux - "Those good times", duff notes and all.

Mickie champion what good am I for me

Appreciations - Its better to cry always does it for me

thanks chicken!! :yes: you like?

Aye its canny. :yes:

OMG. Too much info... too much info... ohmy.gif:lol:

Have to agree about Jerry Cook though. Stupendous, tremendous, searing, incendiary super SOUL music!

re, Horn blasts n' brass, what about the fabulous intro to Rufus Wood's "Before 2001"? - or "So Is The Sun"? Loud and bountiful!

Carol Jones- Don't Destroy Me

RAW Ghetto Brass

Maybe not the best, but gritty, oh yes.

On the same label Milton Harris 'You Should Have Told Me'

I love it when the trumpet player hits the duff notes. Makes the record for me.

Tower of Power. Any track you like, the horns're gonna be better than any other horn section you've heard.
