The Dirty Dozen - The Best Of 2022... Part 33 (Aug 2022 Wk 33) Spotify Playlist

SoulStrutter selections of the best releases this week

(Aug 2022 Wk 33)

In no particular order other than tempo.

A straight dozen this week as the summer slump in the number of great quality releases continues. I've selected what I think is the best track from a good five track EP "Brown Liquor Music" from Cameo Holliday which is well worth checking out if you appreciate 'authentic' timeless soul music. You could still be playing this in 20 plus years time which can't be said for a lot of the 'faddish' neo stuff being released!

The full album from Midnight.Blue, "Breathe" was released on Thursday. A good album from B.B. King's granddaughter Val B. King "So Many Ways" was released on Friday but only on Bandcamp so couldn't be included as with a few other bits n pieces on promo only.

There's been a bit of a buzz over "Kobe" by Kayra in the last couple of weeks on promo which got released on Friday on a full album "Karma" but there's nothing else as good on the album (except perhaps "Milton" IMO) including the remix which strips it back and, for me, strips the 'guts' out of it!

It boiled down to a choice between Kayra and Frank McComb for this week's SoulStrutter Selection of the Week from the playlist but, as they are both already attracting plenty of attention and airplay, I'm going for the Val B. King album "So Many Ways" as I'm not sure that many know about it as yet.
