Keb Darge & Little Edith's Rockin' R'n'B
It might not be the only release of its kind on the BBE label, because Keb Darge & Little Edith’s Legendary Rockin’ R&B album is described as the first in a 'series', setting out to expose lesser known or forgotten lights of R&B music from the 50s and 60s. Interestingly, […]

The School CD reviewed
Something a little different added to our music reviews section – the new album by The School. It's called Loveless Unbeliever and is released on the Elefant label. Mark Raison has reviewed the album, which is a modern take on early 60s pop if you like. I'll say no more […]
R&B Hipshakers Volume 1 – CD / vinyl
Can't say I'd heard of this release, but R&B Hipshakers Volume 1 (aka teach me To Monkey) on the Vampisoul label seems will worth investigating. It's compiled by Mr Fine Wine (of Downtown Soulville radio show and podcast fame), pulling tracks from the Federal and King vaults, ranging from '56 […]
