Fruits of my recent two day storage facility dig.
Don't miss this 2 part mega show! Possibly the best dig I have ever done. Be sure to check out the Charles Vickers song poem on National Guild. I couldn't find much information about this record online, except the website about song poems. Who knew Gene Chandler had a big record on Constellation? Not me, thats for sure. 'Mr Big Shot' is an amazing soul dancer. Not to mention the female cover of 'I'll Go Crazy' by Ella Thomas, or the calypso funk by King Wellington! Wow...

Quick little show, with a couple new tracks including the amazing female version of Big Bird by Rosetta Hightower! I don't think it can compete with the Eddie Floyd version, but it is pretty great, check it out for yourself!
I didn't do my show this week, and I will out of town next weekend. However, to keep things moving, I decided to post up a show I did from back in April of this year. Its an all blues show, including many of my favorite acoustic tracks. We'll get back to the soul and funk soon enough.
