Stop by the Junction Wednesday night for some great new vinyl grooves. Out of nowhere, the Greg Foat Group returns with an EP close on the heels of last year's now classic release and in anticipation of a full length coming out in the next two weeks. But that's not all! The Menahan Street Band just released their 2nd album, Finnish reedman Timo Lassy's got a new one, and we'll spin the soundtrack to Searching for Sugarman, a documentary about the enigmatic folk/funk of the elusive Rodriguez. Plus, a batch of Hendrix covers celebrating the man's 70th birthday!

What

baby? The evil progeny would be a two headed monster called Fewsh
Junction! Yes, join me Wednesday night as the infamous Fewsh, Monday nights from 6pm-8pm here on GtownRadio, sits for another two hour musical discussion. Check out the original madness here!
Soul Junction and Fewsh: almost as fitting a combo as thinly veiled nudity and absinthe. We promise to stay clothed, but make no promises about the absinthe.

Dig the vinyl grooves of the Junction Wednesday night. Got more from the excellent Tim Maia compilation from Luakabop, this time centering on his UFO cult years (!!!), plus more from the surprisingly satisfying Story of Roy Porter Sound Machine from Germany's Tramp records.
And a mix of Brazilian inspired madness, including Maia's nephew, Ed
Motta, spare Rhodes from Adam Makowicz and a loooong one from Isaac
Hayes, backed by the Bar-Kays!

And we're back, cleansed of all sin, but still packing some dirty grooves. Dig the Junction Wednesday night for the debut of Michael Kiwanuka's excellent new LP, which came out in January, but only recently got a U.S. vinyl release.

Dusty fingers.
Blame James Mason 'cause we're still in a sweet '70s groove at the
Junction. We'll hear yet another great track from Mason's impossibly
rare but recently reissued opus, Rhythm of Life, in addition to some other great tracks in the same vein from Miroslav Vitous & Matthew Larkin Cassell. Plus, heavy sounds from Woody Shaw and fonky flute from Jeremy Steig and a happy birthday to Jerry Garcia via Merl Saunders, all spun on 100% vinyl...natch.

Rhythm of life.
Make a stop at the Junction tonight for 100% vinyl funkiness. Two
weeks off means we are brimming with new releases to bring your way.
Get ready for a new one from the Filthy Six,
an album that pays homage to the classic Blue Note/Prestige organ funk
albums of the late '60s. Plus, a fantastic reissue of the ultra-rare Ron Forella...Moves! LP, which was originally created to accompany a NYC dance troupe performance. But, best of all, James Mason's impossibly scarce masterpiece, Rhythm of Life,
was just reissued by a Japan's Shout label, and since I never thought
I'd come across a copy, let me tell you, it was worth the wait! Come on
in!

What the world needs now.
Finally! As promised, the Sugarman 3 and Hilton Felton
lps have arrived and have been replaced, respectively, so it's time
for Junction debuts! Plus, we'll check out some releases and artists
from classic late NYC funk labels like Daptone, Desco, Truth & Soul and Soul Fire, all of whom were instrumental in bringing deep funk and classic soul back to the people. And we'll drop the needle on the rarest CTI record of them all, groove to some heavy funk from Mandrill and dig an outtake from that great Mickey Murray reissue from Secret Stash. A funky good time!

A man for all reasons.
Had a couple new LPs lined up for you tonight, but one arrived warped
and the other didn't arrive at all. Still, I'll bring you a couple of
tracks from the intended artists, including Hilton Felton and The Sugarman 3, with hopes of both making their debuts next week. Plus, it's Miles Davis' 86th birthday
this weekend, and though we're saving the marathon for another time,
we still have some classics and rarities pulled. And the usual
vinyl-only madness will ensue with music from Fugi (backed by Black Merda!), hose-a-phone from Owen Marshall, and more from Kool & Together!

The naked truth.
Sweet grooves stopping by the Junction Wednesday night...so you should too! I still can't stop listening to the amazing rediscovery of Azanyah by the deep diggin' folks over at Jazzman Records, so let's check that out, plus yet another wild Jazzman reissue from multi-instrumentalist Owen Marshall. Sadly, Stax session legend and (almost) original M.G. Donald "Duck" Dunn
passed away this week, so of course we'll pay respects. But it's not
all bad news! We also got a sweet mix of percussion and keys on a new
album from Jessica Lauren...and electric piano from Romano Mussolini (son of Benito!), 'Nawlins soul from Allen Toussaint, and one more for MCA because we ran out of time last week. (ed note: it turned into three)

The one.
See you at The Junction Wednesday night two hours of deep vinyl only
cuts. Last week we debuted Jazzman Records' most recent excavation, Azanyah's The One,
a record you slept on in 1987 because you were too busy frontin' to Yo!
Bum Rush the Show or dancing awkwardly to George Michael's "Faith."
(note: I was the latter). Got a couple tracks to bring to your way
from this excellent slice of spiritual jazz, plus some more jazz burners
from such luminaries as Klaus Doldinger, Nathan Davis and The Sun Ra Arkestra performing in Egypt...with Salah Ragab! Tight.

Stop at the Junction Wednesday night for a few Record Store Day exclusive releases, including unreleased Miles Davis (the marathon looms!) and the first ever official release from the Mynah Birds (Rick James & Neil Young...together at last!). Plus, genius from Allan Toussaint, psych-funk from Kool & Together and spiritual jazz from Azanyah

Eddie Russ yet...in fact, got a whole set lined up: solo, on that fresh new reissue with the Mixed Bag and another jam with Sonny Stitt!

Good stuff going on Wednesday at the Junction as Nick Devlin, owner of Long in the Tooth Records, sits in for the show, bringing some choice cuts from his great downtown vinyl shop. Got some keepers in my sack, too: psych blues from Muddy and Howlin' Wolf, Gil Evans covering Jimi Hendrix, music from the always reliable Mainstream label, plus more from the super heavy Miles Davis Japan concerts from 1975.

Faithful man.
Come chill at the Junction Wednesday night for some great new vinyl releases. Got the new Lee Fields to debut, no doubt. Plus, some nice new reissues like great bossa nova from Edu Lobo and the Tamba Trio, and the live Miles Davis double LP Pangaea, previously only available in Japan!
