Talk of the Town Soul — Sat, 30 Oct 2010 00:46:42 +0000

Hi folks, October was a Big month for modern soul acquisitions, as you'll learn toward the last half this mix. Beginning with a sweet soul ballad by the venerable Dennis Landry (I mean, have you ever heard a bass player having more fun than the guy playing on this song?? WICKED!) and ending with a smooth shifter from Darwin's Theory -- unearthed on Milwaukee's Lotus Land label -- it's really going to be tough to beat this mix. Have fun with this one.
