New Mix: The Soulful Tenth

This past Saturday evening, I was hungry for some soul music.  I sat in front of my record shelf and picked 10 records.  I briefly reviewed each LP, made my choices, and hit record:  no edits, one take, live mix.  I wanted to put together something folks could relate to, yet highlight artists and songs which have easily slipped under the average listeners radar.  Keeping true to many an LP release back in the day, I played the uptempo songs for the first half, then slid right into the slow, love songs for the second half of the mix.

100% Live, 100% Vinyl, 100% Soul.

Peace.
