Easter Folk

A new folk-rock mix with a lot of fresh music. The Jim Sullivan song comes from his privately pressed 1969 debut which was reissued last year. He released the same record in 1970 but with a different and much worse mix. So I'm glad that the private press finally was reissued because the whole album is outstanding and otherwise very hard to find. The Judy Henske & Jerry Yester song was also released on their debut in 1969 and one year later they renamed themself to Rosebud and released another album before they divorced. The Rosebud album is underestimated and includes many nice folk-rock songs but not as good as their debut. The Oriental Sunshine, Strawberry Alarm Clock and Lewis & Clark Expedition songs are Eastern influenced with sitars. Also listen to the break in the end of the KO Bossy track, which I think is really good. Hope you like it!

Creation Rebel

Adrian Sherwood and his label On-U Sound will always have a special place in my heart. There is something about the whole thing; maybe it is the making of reggae outside of Jamaica that gives a certain freedom, maybe the influence of electronic music, maybe the combination of organic and electronic sounds.

The record Starship Africa with the group Creation Rebel was originally recorded in 1978 but released 1980 on the label Hit Run, later issued on On-U Sound in 1982. Produced and arranged by Adrian Sherwood and highly recommended.

GUEST MIX

For years i´ve met Rickard in the record shop and everytime he always talked about the records he just got, the ones on the way or the ones he got last week. Very cool stuff and often records i had never heard or even heard of. This made me curious to hear him play which proved quite difficult since he quit playing out in clubs and bars. Now that we have gone all modern with a music blog and all it seemed like the perfect time to ask for a mix and at last here it is and it is just as good as i could have ever imagined. Get on the DL and have a listen.

Nite Jewel

Nite Jewel – Am I real?

The tree piece band with Ramona Gonzales as a front figure released this beautiful Ep last year on the label Gloriette. An album filled with s dreamy melodies and low down beats. Nite Jewel creates a wonderful crossing between pop and older electronic music like early house and electro.

Blues Run The Game

This week will be a blast from the past. It contains many favorite artists like Jellybread, Christine Perfect and Wizards From Kansas but also some new discoveries like Steamhammer. The mix is mainly blues and blue-eyed soul with a lot of great beats but it also got some crossover stuff, and that I think is the way to go.
