Nathaniel Mayer - Why Won't You Let Me Be Black? (2009)



1. Dreams Come True
2. Mr. Tax Man
3. If You Would Be My Guide
4. She's Bad
5. You Are The One
6. The Girl Next Door
7. The Puddle
8. What Would You Do?

Nathaniel Mayer (1944-2008) was one of the all-time great soul singers. His 1962 record "Village of Love" made him a star, and he inspired several generations of musicians, especially in his hometown of Detroit. Nathaniel's last sessions took place during two long summer days and nights of intense jamming, writing, and recording. "Why Don't You Give It To Me?" was the first installment of these recordings to be unleashed. Now, here at last, is a second volume of Nathaniel Mayer having a blast with the assistance of members of the Black Keys, SSM, Outrageous Cherry, and the Dirtbombs. The two acoustic performances are from a 2007 radio interview, Nathaniel's only known "unplugged" performance. About the title: It has to do with the food he kept being served while on tour in Europe. When Nate finally became frustrated with the countless plates of cheese and French bread that awaited him backstage at every gig, he shouted "Why Won't You Let Me Be Black?". He agreed that it sounded like a good title for his next album.

Lee Fields & The Expressions - My World (2009)



PRESS RELEASE: Lee Fields is a bona-fide, 100%, unadulterated, pure, gut-bucket soul singer. While the crate-digging funk and soul community bestowed "legendary" status upon him due to his undeniably solid series of rare 7" singles (and one LP) recorded and released on his own independent labels in the 70s, he's never been one to sit in a dusty corner. New York label/production team Truth & Soul, are ready to bring him to light with a brand new album of beat-heavy, deep soul ballads that will show soul-revivalists the world over what real soul is.

After his rediscovery in the mid 90s, his faithful have featured him on a slew on singles, a full-length on Desco Records entitled "Let's Get It On', a full-length on Soul Fire entitled "Problems", and on Sharon Jones's critically acclaimed album, "Naturally". Most recently, he has featured on a number of tracks by French house producer, Martin Solveig. Suprisingly, many of of those songs have become top ten hits for Solveig and have turned Lee Fields into a bonafide celebrity in France and other parts of Europe. Yet, outside of a rabid cult following, his story remained untold in America.

When Truth & Soul rose from Soul Fire's ashes in 2004, the first mission of label owners/producers Jeff Silverman and Leon Michels, was to record a sweet soul record that would be modeled after the near perfect formula that bands like The Moments, The Delfonics, and The Stylistics had created. But with a decidedly modern bent. The two producer/songwriters were perfect for the job, having dedicated their talents to the likes of Adele, Iggy Pop, Amy Winehouse alongside Just Blaze, Ghostface Killah and Jay Z

Turning their attention to Lee Fields, the duo wanted an album full of music that was both tough as nails and sweet as honey. They wanted ballads laced with lush strings and smooth vocal harmonies layered over a hard-hitting rhythm section. Michels and Silverman enlisted the service of a the group of New York studio musicians that have provided the back drop for records by The Dap Kings, Amy Winehouse, Bronx River Parkway, El Michels Affair and TV on The Radio. Those musicians include Leon Michels, Homer Steinweiss, Quincy Bright, Nick Movshon, Thomas Brenneck, Toby Pazner, Aaron Johnson, Dave Guy, Michael Leonhart, and members of legendary doo-wop group, The Del-Larks.

Four years later and Lee Fields & The Expressions have successfully created a unique and personal sound that can hold court with the bands they set out to emulate. However, what they’ve created in the process goes beyond just a carbon copy of a sweet soul music from the 60's and early 70's. The formula has remained the same but the style has been adapted for the ears of youngsters whose experiences with soul began with Amy, not Al, Otis and Marvin. Thirty years of retrospection has colored this cross-generational melding of the minds. It sounds odd on paper, but the results are classic: hip hop-reared record collectors come full circle to produce an album of beatuful soul music with one of the progenitors who made it all possible.

tracklist:
01 Do You Love Me (Like You Say You Do)
02 Love Comes And Goes
03 Honey Dove
04 Money I$ King
05 My World Is Empty Without You
06 Expressions Theme
07 My World
08 Ladies
09 These Moments
10 The Only One Loving You
11 Last Ride

Stevie Wonder - Down To Earth (1966)



Stevie Wonder's third album signaled more artistic growth, but was the first of his career that didn't make much commercial headway. It didn't contain a single big hit, something that wouldn't happen again to Wonder for many, many years. There were moments of uncertainty and awkwardness on such songs as "Angel Baby (Don't You Ever Leave Me)" and "Lonesome Road." Wonder was laying the groundwork for numerous classics that routinely came throughout the 1970s and '80s; his voice was losing its cuteness and beginning to gain the richness and edge that punctuated many of his future albums.

2 Bang Bang

Jean Plum - Unreleased Debut



Jean started recording 1967 at age 13. She signed to Willie Mitchells Hi Rec. 1975, when she announced her excitement at having just completed recording her first solo album! But for reasons unknown, the album never came out, although two tracks from the project hit the recordstores: "Here i go again" (used by Alchemist for Mobb Deep - Win Or Lose) & "I love him" (DJ Muggs Feat. Kool G Rap - Real Life). Before that album project , Jean released her Hi Rec. Debut also on 45 which became a cult classic , including "Look at the boy" & "Back to you" (GZA - Beneath the Surface, Bronze Nazareth /Masta Killa - Street Corners).

So, this compilation right here got those 4 songs plus 8 others recorded for this never-dropin jewel.

As it was never fully released on vinyl, i ripped it in 320 from a CD i bought years ago on Ebay, coming out on a Label called "Cream Rec.", which seems to bought the Hi. Rec Catalogue.

The Cd also includes songs from Veniece, which are totally different and are more or less some Norhtern Soul stuff, which i don´t liked that much, so i bring you the Jean Plum songs only, but in superb quality...ok , enough words, enjoy the music......ahhhh, before i forget...as if the upper sample credits isn´t enough, the Loneliness Song had been used for RZA´s Chi Kung track from the classic Birth of a Prince album..hehe....so, here you go again:
