SOUL UNLIMITED Radioshow 635

In this episode, the focus is once again on soul. We start with a round of Southern Soul, songs that were released on vinyl for the first time on the Soul 4 Real label. The latest release from Geater Davis is a real highlight!
The first new album I would like to present is “Reasons To Stay” by Tanika Charles. It is already the Canadian’s fourth album and also her most personal. The songs sound like very personal letters to her family, herself and also to her listeners. A very moving album, that’s how soul should be!
The Principles Of Joy from Paris have become a permanent fixture on the European soul scene in recent years. They owe this not least to their dynamic live concerts. Now they have recorded a live album with an audience at Studio CVXII in Paris that perfectly captures this magic. It has become a very good album that I would like to recommend to you!
The We Want Sounds label is back with another exciting re-release: the 1983 album “Body Pressure” by the band Sho-Nuff from Mississippi was only released in Japan at the time and is now a sought-after rarity. The album shines with a first-class boogie-funk sound and is definitely recommended!
Fans have had to wait several months for the vinyl edition of Reuben Vaun Smith’s new album “Land Of Music”. Now the time has finally come and it is presented here again with two more excellent songs.
We then embark with Jimi Tenor on a cosmic, synthesizer-infused journey that is also quite funky and soulful. His second album, which he recorded with the Timmion Records house band Cold Diamond & Mink, is even more raw and mystical than the first. A great album that is just the right thing to relax and enjoy the spring. The album of the week!
The soul sounds are then enriched with psychedelic sounds from the Middle East and Caribbean sounds. Another highlight is the “Tigre Bonus EP” by El Gato Negro, who released one of my favorite albums last year with “Le Tigre Qui Pleure”. I suspect that the tracks on the new EP, which is only being released digitally, are from the sessions for this album. They are a welcome addition.
Enjoy listening to this episode!
