Long Time No See (Crossover Soul & Mecca Magic)

[Mal C]

Very seventies 'Mecca' feel to this weeks show, Bobby Womack, Cecil Holmes, Phyllis Hyman are 3 synonymous artists with the music played at that famous club. Sammy Relford intro is from his 'Space City' Lp, I will include some other tracks in weeks to come. Mike James Kirkland does an amazing version of the Carol king song. Lawrence Carroll's Peoples band is the Inst side to Qunestine Strong on 'Rania' label out of Phoenix, Arizona, also very worth checking out Bobby Barnes recording's on that label.

Two interesting tracks, Julia Holter - Hello Stranger is from 1993, & is an ethereal cover of the Barbara Lewis million seller, 'Black Fur' has been sitting in my collection for years, it has a funk flip, but I have to say its been my favourite this week! also got a release on a reissue 7 via the Numero group about ten years back, so easy cheap repro copies are out there!

See you soon

cheers
