The Dirty Dozen - The Best Of 2022... Part 38 (Sep 2022 Wk 38) Spotify Playlist

SoulStrutter selections of the best releases this week 
(Sep 2022 Wk 38)
In no particular order other than tempo. 

A very brief summary this week as pushed for time so will let the playlist speak for itself.

As said last week with the vinyl and CD release of Kim Tibbs' album, which would have been last week's SoulStrutter Selection of the Week had it been released digitally, which it wasn't, but has been this week, so therefore it has been chosen. The playlist has been extended to fifteen tracks to accommodate three of the best tracks from it.

The Midnight Star vocalist/guitarist/drummer Melvin Gentry's solo album is picking up quite a bit of airplay. The new Zenesoul EP has two fresh tracks, one here and one in the Neo Soul Dirty Dozen.
