After a week of quiet and relaxing at the Gutbuster café we are back to normal business. Doors opened with a couple of songs to mark the passing of the great Charles Bradley with a tune from the man himself and one from his key influence, the Godfather of Soul. We then travel Eastbound after our trip Westbound a couple of weeks back, stopping off with a tune from the Black Jazz Records collection and then for a quick blessing from The Left Reverend McD. Then (partly to show off his new vinyl purchase) Creamy sneaks in not one but two tracks from Suite London by power trio The Peddlers. Then a guest appearance from Brian Auger and Nicola Bright-Thomas on Matt Deighton’s 2nd solo album before taking a trip back in Matt’s timeline to Mother Earth days. Space is then made for two very special ladies, Miss Minnie Riperton and Rad (the latter being backed up by a whole array of Funk Royalty). We finish our fry-up with a couple helpings of red sauce, one from a baron and one from a fish.

 

If you are enjoying your weekly helpings, please share the love. We reached 100 downloads this week – how long until we can reach a thousand??
