Nice . I like Latimore and TK Soul. Don’t know some of the others. I think J Paul is zydeco mixed with southern soul
― curmudgeon, Saturday, 21 October 2023 18:44 (six months ago) link
Yeah she was rocking that Big Cynthia
Hard to believe it’s been so long since the Gator had that spot
― Heez, Saturday, 21 October 2023 19:21 (six months ago) link
Yep. RIP Gator. And still I meet folks who don't know what I mean by southern soul-- Friday was talking to a DC guitarist who plays rockabilly and honkytonk country and a vocalist musician guy who is into artsy punk and post punk and they were stumped re the current day names I mentioned

Liking the 2023 Robert Finley album Black Bayou. it's more bluesy soul than southern soul. He had gotten some attention by working with a Fat Possum label engineer, and also with an album produced by a Black Keys guy, and on America's Got Talent. He's a rural Louisiana guy who spent years in Europe in the 70s in the US army where he also played music.
