Aretha Franklin – You and Me
“What greater thing is there for two human souls, than to feel that they are joined for life–to strengthen each other in all labor, to rest on each other in all sorrow, to minister to each other in all pain, to be one with each other in silent unspeakable memories at the moment of the last parting?”
You and Me will ALWAYS be joined together for eternity x

Billy Butler – Tomorrow is another day
“Heaven knows we need never be ashamed of our tears, for they are rain upon the blinding dust of earth, overlying our hard hearts. I was better after I had cried, than before .. more sorry, more aware of my own ingratitude, more gentle.”

John Holt – I See Your Face
“No truth can cure the sorrow we feel from losing a loved one. No truth, no sincerity, no strength, no kindness can cure that sorrow. All we can do is see it through to the end and learn something from it, but what we learn will be no help in facing the next sorrow that comes to us without warning.”
– Haruki Murakami

Gil Scott Heron – Delta Man
Next tune from the urbanpoet laureate, the mercurial Gil Scott Heron, the undisputed master of urbanemusicology. For me the man is up there with the great poets and troubadours. Authentic, deep, meaningful.
Highlighted from the 1977 LP – Bridges (featuring Brain Jackson).

Rude Boy Prayer – Desmond Tucker & Los Cabelleros
Cuts like these don’t grow on trees..
One listen alone could NEVER do it justice.
Los Cabelleros are none other than Alton Ellis, Zoot Simms and the Wailers..
BIG, HEAVYWEIGHT Rocksteady Selection from themusicologist vaults.

Jimmie Nelson – Free and Easy Mind.
TOP Drawer ‘Big City’ blues from Jimmy ‘T99’ Nelson. Protege of the great Big Joe Turner who taught the young Nelson all he needed to know about singing and ‘the game’.
1955 Release on the Chess Label.

Lonnie Johnson – Why Should I Cry
over the MANY years that themusicologist has been flinging down cuts from the vaults OCEANS have flowed under the ‘bridge’, causing a man to reflect on the deepest of life’s experiences. I have been as deep as a wo/man can go. Travelled Hills and Gullies and along ‘the way’ there has only been one, consistent language that continues to teach and guide.
You know what language I refer to so I won’t spell it out.
Climbing back into the saddle with this mercurial (1951) piece from the pioneering blues legend , another Crescent City virtuoso, Lonnie Johnson. If you don’t know who this cat is suffice to say he was dropping urbanemusicology as far back as the 1920’s.
