Odd Fellows Soul

Hunter Six have great sound and along with Sharon Jones and Nick Waterhouse owned the retro soul vibes. Though Nick Waterhouse has gone down the kitch vegas supper club his past 2 albums. James Hunters albums are all soul but hopefully this forthcoming coming album will have more uptempo tracks than ballads. James is a great song writer too.

James Hunter has moved from Daptone to Easy Eye sound. New album Off The Fence with Norther soul vibes. January 2026. TheUrbanMusicScene.comThe James Hunter Six | “Off The Fence”Set for release January 16, Off The Fence is a landmark album for James Hunter himself for a number of different reasons. https://news.theurbanmusicscene.com/2025/09/the-james-hunter-six-to-release-new-album-off-the-fence/ Like his RnB 60s vibes. Here is a list of his Daptone dance tracks. In between northern nights. Chicken Switch One Way Love Look Out If That Don't Tell You (Baby) Hold On Free Your Mind Till I Hear It From You Brother Or Other Ain't Going Up In One Of Those I Got Eyes Mm-Hmm Don't Let Pride Take You

If there was a number 41 Kim Weston - After The Rain?

Mine seems ok. Colour vinyl.

Lee Fields Two Jobs and Sharon Jones won't give a Friend A Number ( from a guy like you). Also very good. KTF

Have noticed if you wait for Daptone, you have to chance limited colour vinyl being sold out. Plus they only sell what other stockists have not bought and sometimes don't have many left at that price. KTF

Not as instant as Benjamin & The Right Direction – Light Of My Life but given the integration of AI, multiple genres and over promotion a lot of good tunes go under the radar on release don't do well and then the artist concerned changes the style of music they record. Hope they have an album released rooted in soul. The AI from Riker at least is rooted in Northern soul.

I think the same thing happend with Lee Fields Two Jobs and Sharon Jones I Don't Give Friend A Number. Both potential northern playlist tracks. Daptone UK also seem to reveal on the day more than pre order on 45s. KTF

The Womack Sisters - If You Want Me Anew release £6 from UK Daptone. Could well be a future northern fave.

Condolances to his family and friends. Great chap, friendly to everyone even us 15 year olds that shouldn't have been there. Attendees of Oddfellows St.Ives and Peterborough all benefitted from his knowledge and The Fleet oldies room was the pre cursor to the RnB we have today. He worked at Charly records and gave me a few lps. Also re activated Ninas My Baby Just Cares before it was on an advert. Often seen at the Halcyon Peterborough before an all nighter. Absolute top bloke. Regards Mark

Edwin Starr and Blinky We'll Find A Way from Just We Two LP. Like Chuck Jacksons Ain't No Sun and Gladys Knight Stranger all championed by Chris King at Hinkley in the 80s from LPs.

Lonnie Russ – Say Girl / Something For My Love A side a popular oldie everywhere The flip side popular at Oddfellows (Gary Rushbrooke)

Praise the lord, hopefully the first Motown compilation (since Chris Kings 2 x Northern Motown) that is wholly aimed at the dancefloor and not the armchair. Some of the 7s boxset choices were to be listened to not danced to and hopefully this compilation will put things right. Licencing may have held back some wanted choices on the 7s sets but now there is even more from the vaults to come by the sounds of it. KTF

Thank you for the heads up will check it out. KTF
