Soul Excursions: February 2013
http://soulexcursions.blogspot.com/2013_02_01_archive.html
Wednesday, February 6, 2013. Nature Boy" is one of my favorite songs of all-time. It's a timeless song, written in 1947 by Eden Ahbez and first sang, and made popular, by Nat King Cole. Album, when I was highly into anything Chilton-Bell-Big Star related back in college. Alex Chilton sounds so lonely and cold on "Nature Boy", I remember playing it repeatedly when I was in college 15 years ago and being mesmorized by it. Lastly, this is the most recent version of "Nature Boy" that I've heard. In the p...

Soul Excursions: "The Plague": A Forgotten Song
http://soulexcursions.blogspot.com/2013/10/the-plague-forgotten-song.html
Thursday, October 10, 2013. The Plague": A Forgotten Song. Scott Walker's first four albums ( Scott. Were big fixtures for me about twelve years ago. Somehow, over the years I've moved away from Scott Walker- I think I burned out on his music. In the past few weeks, I've been rediscovering his music, and really enjoying it. I recently discovered his track "The Plague", a B-Side off of his first album, Scott. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). The Plague: A Forgotten Song. Can This Be Real?

Soul Excursions: Can This Be Real?
http://soulexcursions.blogspot.com/2013/10/can-this-be-real.html
Tuesday, October 8, 2013. Can This Be Real? Not necessarily a HUGE fan of Natural Four, but I've always been a sucker for "Can This Be Real? The first track off of their debut album Natural Four. It definitely has that Gamble-Huff, Philly soul sound to it. Beautiful vocals, and a nice, sax lead-in solo just to start the song off right. Just a solid single overall, once of those 'repeaters' for me, I can never get enough of it. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). The Plague: A Forgotten Song.

Monday, December 31, 2012. 2012 Album of the Year: #1. Frank Ocean: Channel Orange. Frank Ocean's Channel Orange. So well.

Soul Excursions: January 2013
http://soulexcursions.blogspot.com/2013_01_01_archive.html
Monday, January 21, 2013. Or more like, essential Prog, because there is a lot of craptastic Prog Rock that I've never dug. From my somewhat limited knowledge of Prog Rock, the ones that are tops are the first few Soft Machine albums ( Volume One. King Crimson In The Court of The Crimson King. Though sometimes they are a bit too lyrically quirky for my taste at times), Caravan In The Land of Pink and Grey. And Egg's first album Egg. Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). I reside in Seattle, Was...

Tuesday, October 29, 2013. I was never as big of a fan of Reed's solo work, but enjoyed listening to Transformer. Occasionally (even though Berlin. Was too much of a downer even for the dark, goth-influenced late teen that I was back then). I remember once listening to Metal Machine Music. Links to this post. Thursday, October 10, 2013.

Soul Excursions: Nilsson: Aerial Ballet
http://soulexcursions.blogspot.com/2013/09/nilsson-aerial-ballet.html
Thursday, September 12, 2013. Nilsson (No, It's Not Elliott Smith). What I do know is that I've been on a 60's/70's pop kick recently, running through the catalog of post-Pet Sounds era Beach Boys albums ( Sunflower. Are all enjoyable albums while nightly getting my mind blown by Smile. And the outtakes), delving back into Syd Barrett/early Pink Floyd era, repeatedly listening to the first three Love albums ( Love, Da Capo,. And of course, Forever Changes). I don't know. It doesn't resonate with my c...

Soul Excursions: July 2013
http://soulexcursions.blogspot.com/2013_07_01_archive.html
Wednesday, July 24, 2013. Up All Nite (With The Nite-Liters). I've always loved listening to instrumental funk and soul over the years. From the obvious bands like The Meters and Booker T and The MGs, to Funk, Inc., and The Bar-Kays, all those bands each have a few impressive albums in their catalog. I would have to put The Nite-Liters A-Nal-Y-Sis. And of course, "Damn" is one of my favorite Nite-Liters songs as well. First if you're interested in a little instrumental funk. Links to this post. Which is ...
