Quick song notes:
A review of the Isley brothers 2004 "reconstruction" record here.
Dennis Coffey bio here. Dude goes at it with a buzzsaw. Rack him.
The Deep Covers compilation was put together by fellow music blogger DJ O-DUB from Soul Sides. A great disc all the way through. Go buy a few copies, they make great gifts.
Marva Whitney's It's My Thing reviewed at Soul Strut.
Hey David Brendel: you were talkin to me on Saturday about Blowfly? Clarence Reid is him, before he became the Weird Al of porn rap. I don't know if Reid's "Nobody But You Babe" is officially recognized as a cover, but it is by my brain.
Blowfly recently in Willamette Week.
Blowfly's official page.
And no mix is complete without an Alton Ellis cover. A review of Arise Black Man, 1968-1978 here.
