Bye Poppa













Just got the sad news that New Orleans funk legend Arthur Lanon 'Art' Neville passed away yesterday.  The keyboard player they called Poppa Funk, co-founder of both the Meters and the Neville Brothers, was 81. Miss him.

Colour Me Yellow



















How about some more colour in your lives? You know you need some. So come in, Aaron... "Oh yellow moon can you tell me, if the girl's with another man?" Sets the tone for yet another diverse hand picked six pack for your listening pleasure, coloured yellow this time. Featuring sweet New Orleans soul by the Neville Brothers, sharp lofi jugband sounds by The Scene Is Now, and a horny delta blues by Bertha Lee with 'papa' Charley Patton on guitar. Plus epic prog rock by Peter Hammill's Van Der Graaf, an intense folk song by the late great Jackson C. Frank and last but not least some hypnotic Afrobeat by Fela and crew. Dig it? Buy some of the albums these songs come from why don´t you.
