Episode 152: Soul Explosion! (Part III)
(Focusing on soul selections introduced to me by my good friend Isosceles Diego.)

If you’re a fan of music in all its varied size and scope, it doesn’t take long before you realize how powerful soul music can be.  I find myself endlessly fascinated by the depth of soul music, and that around every corner you can hear your new favorite thing, sometimes several times in a single song.  So it’s always nice to dig through a bunch of cool songs and throw together a show that just cooks.

This show is also a tribute to Don Cornelius.  While I can’t say that I watched a lot of Soul Train, I do remember it fondly.  The show was an important part of getting soul music out to a larger audience, and his influence is undeniable.  Given that DJ JustanotherDJ paid tribute to a few other’s that passed in hour one, it seemed appropriate.

Today’s show would not exist without Isosceles Diego, a man who is my Soul Connection.  He was the one that introduced me to Detroit Soul From The Vaults, Shrine, and The Northern Side Of Philly Soul, all albums that I used (among other things) to piece together this show.  Isosceles has been an influence on my musical taste from when I was a wee pup, and it is always good to give him a shout out.  I can only hope that he can have a chance to tune in and rock out.

Don’t forget to go to the show on February 10th at Food For Thought!  It’s gonna rule.

See ya in seven.

To start the New Year out right, Jaycationand I have teamed up to bring you a five hour SOUL EXPLOSION, all in the name of quality radio. It’s not an easy job, but the hours are fantastic.

What can I say? When you need soul, you need a lot of it.

Next week: A live performance by Gender Roles, and more!

See Ya in Seven.
