sideburn soul
January 16, 2009
I just found this mix on CD digging around this morning, not sure if I have ever posted it before? I vaguely remember making this at our old place – so at least 4 years ago, possibly more? The theme of it was heavy tracks from the mid ’70s, when both rock and soul artists were growing their hair, their gut and their sideburns. I was really getting into low-slung rock funk at the time.
Listening back to the mix with a bit of perspective the first part blends really well and sets a nice tone, not so sure the second half works so well, but all my mixes get lost in the middle. It’s turning into a trademark.
Anyway, I’ll move it to the mix page later, but for now, enjoy…

who did that marvin gaye edit/remix? there is no info and it is very nice. thanks
Sweet mix. Thanks a lot.
When you think about it, that fur coat, mid-seventies sound (nailed shut by The Eagles) was when the music drug scene shifted away from weed towards cocaine (a very euphoric but isolating drug). The affect becomes less about a Grateful Dead communal experience and more about instant gratification . You can hear it in the music, that “we’re here for a good time, not a long time” vibe.
I think you are spot on the money there Ed. Big change of scene when there was a change in the pharmacuticals.
Mike – The track is by Wajeed there was an Ep with about 4 Marvin tracks that had been Wajeed-ified. Good looking out.
Thanks for dropping in with comments.
Peace.
