In true Soul Source style 'Dirty Northern' has already split into two warring camps. Those that see it as a term for gritty down-home R&B style northern ('Dirty Northern' © Tony Smith) and those that have foccussed on the sexually explicit songs, which frankly I have always thought of as 'Horny Northern.'

Is there anyone out there who can really get this going with a "post-Stafford modern style horny northern" surely Russ, Steve G, Simon or Robin S can come up with the choooon?

For now - - What is 'Dirty Northern'? discuss?

Park these where you want ...

Unsatisfied (gritty?)

The Ice Man (horny?)

Who's making love?

I'm your pimp

Has anyone mentioned Johnny De'Vigne's I Smell Trouble on De-Lite yet? The old Johnny Sayles cover-up and a definitive example of Dirty Northern.

Mad Mouth Woman - Wayne Carter

Ive Been Working - Wild Honey

Two For The Road - Citations

Ghetto Love - Bethea The Maskman

[Mark W]

Ghetto Boys- Handwriting on the wall- Tarx

Debonairs- Please come back baby- Soul Click

James Carpenter- Marriage is only a state of mind- Topper unissued(Kent CD)

Larry Williams- This old heart of mine is so lonely-Okeh

Fitting the bill me thinks...

In another thread Tony Smith has coined the phrase 'Dirty Northern' - my interpretation of this is gritty, hard, down home dance-music with none of the elegant orchestral production techniques of Philly etc. etc. Dirty Northern. Great term.

I'll start with the old Detroit classic 'Sister Lee', by Singing Sammy Ward. His R&B plea to a departed girlfriend (his sister?) is a killer to this day. Sammy had been dumped by Motown and gone back to his bluesier roots.

Your favourite 'Dirty Northern' classic please?

(Tony I'll always acknowledge you when I shamelessly 'bootleg' this term)

it's a term used on the house scene for about 15 years, as in deep down dirrrty house

Always thought friday Night was a pretty dirty northern record
