Roger Williams [2022-07-03] - The Soulsorts Podcast [Podcast #12]

Roger Williams' twelfth podcast of 2022. He recently completed a series of five Record Room sessions consisting of an hour of album tracks followed by an hour of singles. Check them out HERE.

Two weeks ago he took stock of some of the best new releases of 2022 titled "A mid-year 2022 quality new music selection". At the time he suggested that a second installment was in the pipeline, which has been deferred a week owing to the Liverpool Soul Weekender last weekend, so now here's part 2 with another 50 selections from the first half of 2022 A mid-year 2022 quality new music selection #2

Having spoken with Roger a day or two ago., I think that there may well be a third session, as he was a bit miffed that he'd left a couple of tracks out that he now wishes that he'd included, so watch this space!

The podcast is available on Mixcloud and Podomatic where you can also download it to listen offline.
