The dimensions of an album cover. Tuesday, September 27, 2005. I'm not going to talk too much on this one. Mel Brown is a blues artist that always has nice funky moments on his albums. His first album was Chicken Fat. Before that he played guitar on Bill Cosby's "Silver Throat" album. Yes, the cover of "Mel Brown's Fifth" is burned. I didn't do it. From Big Foot Country Gal. From A Fifth of Mel Brown. Posted by K-mac at 8:23 PM. Saturday, September 24, 2005. Posted by K-mac at 11:36 AM. What is Punk Rock?

By Key of Dreams. Posted by K-mac at 7:44 PM. Wednesday, November 16, 2005. I believe these are the first 45s I've posted about. So, forget about all of this picutre business and let's focus on the music. You've heard Archie Bells "Tighten Up" right? By The TSU Tornadoes. By The TNT Band. Posted by K-mac at 7:04 PM.

The dimensions of an album cover. Wednesday, August 09, 2006. Willie and the Bumblebees. I knew I must had seen it on Soulstrut.com or something, but that can be tricky because people post about crappy records almost just as much as they post about good records. Well, I bought the record and headed home to do some record nerd research on the internet. What did I learn? Honey from the Bee. By Willie and the Bumblebees. From Honey from the Bee.

The dimensions of an album cover. Tuesday, January 24, 2006. Orquesta Hermanos Flores "La Bala". So, I found this album at the Goodwill I mentioned in my last post. Orquesta Hermanos Flores are from El Salvador and have a great sound. For me, it is all about the keyboards with this album that just cause me to smile and lean back every time they jump out of the mix. I'm going to take a cue from The Record Brother. Posted by K-mac at 4:47 PM. Monday, January 23, 2006. Pete Rodriguez on Alegre. And, no one ...

The dimensions of an album cover. Monday, December 26, 2005. Xmas in New Orleans. I spent last Christmas in New Orleans. The picture above was taken on Christmas Day. It was the first time in ten years that it had snowed in New Orleans. People were standing out in the street with smiles on their faces while kids threw snowballs and made little snowmen. We spent ten days there eating great food and watching outstanding music every day. Merry Christmas. Xmas in New Orleans. Posted by K-mac at 5:43 PM.

The dimensions of an album cover. Friday, March 31, 2006. Pick up every Yusef Lateef record you can find. And, as long as I'm giving you orders, leave some comments! Man, since I stopped posting Bollywood, this place has become a ghost town. Well, I've got two tracks from Yusef Lateef's Detroit for you. First is a track called "Bishop School." It's the opening track of the album and comes out punching! Just listen to that rhythm section! Then, you've got Yusef going off on the scat vocals towards the end.
