KTUH The Cookbook: Recipes of Sound 9/6/11 - Le Rail Band / Little Ann/ Renaldo Domino (LISTEN)


Le Rail Band - Buffet Hotel De La Gare LP (Superfly Records) 2011

- The great and rare Buffet Hotel De La Gare from the Rail Band – amazing Mali music from a most pivotal and groundbreaking time in the group's early history – and some its best! At this point, the group was essentially the house band at the Buffet Hotel De La Gare – blending traditional Mandingo melodies and instrumentation with boundary free jazz and funk. Truly amazing work! Titles include "Jurukan", "Marabayasa", "Baja Male", "Sunan", "Duga", "Tidiani Kone", "Nantan" and "Moko Jolo" - Dusty Groove

1st hour: Afro Funk Soul Ethio Malian Ghanian Grooves

Little Ann - Deep Shadows LP (Timmion) 60's /2011

- Brilliant soul from the Detroit underground of the late 60s – a full set of work by vocalist Little Ann, issued here for the first time ever! You might recognize Ann's name from her appearance on a few of the Ace/Kent Records issues of material by Detroit producer Dave Hamilton over the years – and the work here all comes from those classic collaborations with Hamilton – trapped on tape for many years, always contemplated as a possible Little Ann album – but only issued in full by the funky folks at Timmion Records! The groove here is as offbeat as some of Dave's other great work – not nearly as tight, or uptight, as Motown music – and instead, done with a sly undercurrent of darkness on most numbers, even the mellower ones – almost that earliest mix of Detroit styles that you get on pre-fame singles from Westbound Records artists. Ann's vocals are nice and lean, and slide right into the mix with ease – heartfelt enough to grab us right away, yet without any obvious cliches as well. Titles include "What Should I Do", "Deep Shadows", "Possession", "Who Are You Trying To Fool", "Sweep It Out In The Shed", "The Smile On Your Face", and "I Got To Have You" - Dusty Groove

2nd hour: Deep Soul Extravaganza !

Renaldo Domino - I'll Get You Back / Two Years, Four Days (Sincere/Numero) 70's /2011

- Wonderful sweet soul from the amazing Renaldo Domino – an artist who always sounds great to our ears! Both of these tracks are previously unreleased – for some reason that still remains a mystery, given the strength of the work – and they really continue the genius that Domino laid out during his work for Twinight. "I'll Get You Back" is a slow-stepping number with some really wicked guitar alongside the vocals – and "Two Years" is a bit more upbeat, with a groove that's almost shagging, but a bit more Northern. - Dusty Groove
