The Dirty Dozen - The Best Of 2022... Part 25 (Jun 2022 Wk 25) Spotify Playlist

SoulStrutter selections of the best releases this week 
(Jun 2022 Wk 25)
In no particular order other than tempo. 

A lot of the tracks this week will look/sound familiar as a batch of tracks that have been around a week or two via promo and/or Bandcamp were officially released so have only this week become available on Spotify.

It was quite a lean weak across the board for good quality new releases, but then I was half expecting it after last weeks bumper batch, and if it hadn't been for the official releases of four or five tracks, that are by now pretty familiar, (i.e. Marc Staggers, Shirley Jones, Output/Input, Crutchfield Jones, Julian Jonah and technically Dennis Taylor is a remix) it would have been a challenge selecting twelve great tracks.
           
This week's SoulStrutter Selection of the Week was quite an easy one again, although only posted yesterday, it was released on 17 Jun so I decided to go for it rather than wait a week when it would then be over two weeks since release. It's the new album from Snoop Dogg "Snoop Dogg Presents Death Row 2022". Yes there are a lot of hip-hop tracks but another eight good soul tracks. I think the track that may receive most prominence is "Mulholland Drive" and the album includes one of last year's killer cuts he recorded with Stokley  "Jeopardy:Verbalize" (the album title has been shortened to "Verbalize"), but, as said, there are another six or seven non hip-hop tracks to choose from. It was a choice between that and the new JKABEL album "Rhythm & Bible" but if felt that the Snoop Dogg album possibly had wider appeal.
