Favoriting The Long Way Home with Kris Holmes: Playlist from November 21, 2023 Favoriting

Kris Holmes's avatar View Kris Holmes's profile Favoriting

Twenty years of dusty fingers, frayed cuticles, & upper respiratory infections — from record digging and DJing around the globe — coalesces into a 2-hour journey through Rhythm & Blues, Soul, Funk, Jazz, Blues, Latin, Rock & Roll, and all points in between. Your speakers will be head-nodding, toe-tapping & even two-stepping to this vintage 45rpm party in no time. Hear favorite songs you didn't know were your favorites, aural treats & record-world problems from the vinyl side of life.

Been a while since I've listened to Live at PJs. I was fortunate YEARS AGO when I finally procured the S/T album, from a collection that also had Eugene McDaniels 'Headless Heroes', among many many other hard to find soul records that were beyond my budget. And now 10+ years later, I haven't seen any of these albums 'in the wild', still hard to come by and in demand!

The early ones are definitely not commons

I've never seen the NT 45, I've come across some of the early 45s but not all that often. I see there's a $5 G+ copy of NT on Discogs at the moment!

I don't have NT on 45 either

Now I'm wondering - what jazz artists covered Kool and the Gang. Grant Green is one.

Melvin Sparks, that's two.

Funk Inc., that's three.

I've had something like, hmmm, this is food poisoning a few time but weren't bad. Got salmonella one time and it kicked my ass. could not leave the bathroom for about 6 hours. Had to go to work at 7AM but when I got there I was laying on the floor answering questions. Supervisor came in and sent me home, saying keep my my phone on in case needed. They didn't call. was queasy but ok the next day.
