Save Your Soul...
It seems tough to define soul music anymore, but you usually know it when you hear it. I figure, if you are driving in your car at dusk, listening to a song that makes you roll down your window, stick your arm out a little farther and tap your side mirror to the beat...it's soul music! If you slide back in your seat just a little bit when you roll up to a stop light, glance over at the car next to you and slowly tilt your head, with the universal "What Up?" look....it's soul music! Don't lie, you've done it. Aaaah, soul music!...it gives you just enough time to think, and just enough of a beat to keep you movin' on.
The 70's had their time to shine and it's never a disappointment to re-visit the old classics...but don't box up your platform shoes and your bell-bottoms just yet!
Here are a few links for some artists, who are still keepin' it soulful.
Anthony Hamilton......Van Hunt......and Lewis Taylor.
Check 'em out.

...and think of the summers of the past, adjust the bass and let the Alpine blast!! Nice.
I hear ya' Big Eik. Huffin' on the azalae pollen sounds nice. Just don't forget where it all began. Beechway Blvd. Penguin Palace. Harriet Grieser wearin' somethin' clingy. Nice curves.
And the original Ike crankin' Neil Diamond's Holly Holy on 11...... Leaded glass just this side of crackin.
Doesn't it all begin at Penguin Palace? Soft serve, baby!!
this comment is not about soul music, but about all music. I just saw that napster is allowing people to listen to any song you want for free. Pretty cool stuff. I like their moves.
I saw that too...up to 5 listens, then they ask you if you want to buy the song.
I must say, that Little Barrie is pretty soulful.
And James Hunter is, um... good for a listen.
Mock weighs in....and life is good. I'll check 'em out.
