Favoriting The Long Way Home with Kris Holmes: Playlist from August 6, 2024 Favoriting

Kris Holmes's avatar View Kris Holmes's profile Favoriting

Twenty years of dusty fingers, frayed cuticles, & upper respiratory infections — from record digging and DJing around the globe — coalesces into a 2-hour journey through Rhythm & Blues, Soul, Funk, Jazz, Blues, Latin, Rock & Roll, and all points in between. Your speakers will be head-nodding, toe-tapping & even two-stepping to this vintage 45rpm party in no time. Hear favorite songs you didn't know were your favorites, aural treats & record-world problems from the vinyl side of life.

Hello Kris, Matt, Clark, Candy, Tim, and those yet to comment.

I've been listening but at the dinner table, so didn't hear the mic breaks. Is this still records you brought back from New Zealand? Some seem more like a garage sale haul but I'm not a collector, don't know what's what about collectables.

Still, interesting tunes. That Mickey Sharp Quartet was interesting at both speeds.

Great records, Kris, many thanks.

When I heard The Falcons tune, I started reading Wikipedia on Joe Stubbs of the Falcons, it mentioned he was cousin of Jackie Wilson and down the rabbit hole it went.

Later folks
