SoulStrutter Top 20 - 31st Oct 2021



The SoulStrutter Top 20 of the most viewed posts in the last 30 days (i.e. blog readers choices).

No massive changes again this week but Marvin Gaye & Beverley Knight has bounded ahead by quite a considerable margin (so no doubt attracting a wider audience than just soul visitors?). I wouldn't be surprised if we see the next track from the album Jimmy Ruffin & Mica Paris on "What Becomes Of The Brokenhearted" (released on Friday) enter high next week if it follows the trajectory of the first track from the album.

Five new entries, the highest from Melba Moore at #3 and a top 10 entry for Secret Night Gang's debut album. Last week's SoulStrutter Selection of the Week D. Saunders enters at #14. The remix of Eugene Cole's single and BeMyFiasco's album are the other two new entries. 

Rina Chanel hangs on in there for the third week even though it isn't officially due for release until next Saturday (6 Nov. her birthday).

MS1 Project climb ten places owing to the boost of the official release on Friday.

There will be a big change next week as around 8 entries will exit after 30 days.

The Dirty Dozen - The Best Of 2021... Part 38 (Oct 2021 Wk 43) Spotify Playlist


My selection of the best releases this week (Oct 2021 Wk 43)
In no particular order other than tempo. 

Possibly one of the poorest weeks that I can remember for good quality new releases. It's not that there weren't many releases but, unfortunately, just very few that were considered a good enough standard to post.

However, the cream always rises to the top, so I've selected a dozen of the best for you to enjoy.

More than half of the selections are album tracks including Pat Williams, Rev. Evan E. Newman, Erica Johnson, Tom Bailey, MS1 Project, Funkee Boy and Siloam Pool. 

Both MS1 Project and Candace Woodson have been out for a couple of weeks via BandCamp but both received a general release on Friday.

For this week's SoulStrutter Selection of the Week four albums were considered, Erica Johnson "Life, Love & Inspiration", Siloam Pool "Simple Complexity", Rev Evan E. Newman "Better Than Blessed" and Funkee Boy "Elevate", all worthy contenders and recommended listening.

Although I suspect that some, if not all, of the tracks on the Funkee Boy album may have been in the can for a while, for consistency across the whole album, that's this week's choice. Notwithstanding other tracks on the album, I think "A Better Way"  would probably have been SSSotW on it's own.

The Dirty Dozen - The Best Of 2021... Covers, Reissues, Remixes & Samples Part 32 (Oct 2021 Wk 43)



My selection of this week's best cover versions, remixes, reissues, previously unreleased and new songs using samples or new releases with a retro feel (Oct 2021 Wk 43). (In no particular order).

A 'baker's dozen this week as there were so many to choose from including just about everything on the excellent Soul Brother "Wants List 5" compilation which have had to be omitted as there was no space left in the list. There were also a few great vinyl only reissues which couldn't be included from Rance Allen, Ursula Ricks and The Village Choir.

Reissues: The Counts (Soul Junction 45), Indygo
Samples: Mz'vocalz (Zhane - Hey Mr DJ)
Covers: Wayne Brady (Sam Cooke), Joe Barr (Garland Green), Josh Berkeley (Isley, Jasper, Isley), Emily Williams (Aretha Franklin), Jonah (Aretha Franklin), Normal Sole (Betty Wright), Mirror Ball Hustlers (William DeVaughn), Erica Johnson (Bill Withers).

The Dirty Dozen - The Best Of 2021... Covers, Reissues, Remixes & Samples Part 31 (Oct 2021 Wk 42)



My selection of this week's best cover versions, remixes, reissues, previously unreleased and new songs using samples or new releases with a retro feel (Oct 2021 Wk 42). (In no particular order).

I'm a bit pushed for time this week so will just provide a breakdown but will come back and embellish later.

Reissues: Syl Johnson x 2, Lady Wray (pre-released from new album and 'retro')
Remixes: Eric Roberson, Tanqueray Hayward, Larayne, DJ Spen & Kerri Chandler
Covers: Marcus Phillips x 2 (Luther Vandross and EWF), Henry Clarke (Barbara Mason)
Retro: Laura Rain, Bobby Orozo

The Dirty Dozen - The Best Of 2021... Part 38 (Oct 2021 Wk 42) Spotify Playlist


My selection of the best releases this week (Oct 2021 Wk 42)
In no particular order other than tempo. 

What started off as a slow week and weekend for new releases eventually turned up some, if not outstanding tunes. It was tricky trimming it back to twelve in the end and a couple which may have featured have been put in the covers dozen as they are remixes from Eric Roberson et al with "Lessons" and TanQueray Hayward with the Realm Remix of "Standing All Alone".

A few tunes may 'technically' be reissues as Derrick Givens album was apparently released in 2015 and Tony DeWayne published, but not released, in 2016.

As said above, with nothing particularly standing out on the singles front, the weeks SoulStrutter Selection of the Week goes to D. Saunders superb album "Let Me Sing To You" full of quality deep soul tunes, two of which are featured in the new "The Deep Dozen". Again, it would appear that some of the tracks, four to my reckoning, may have appeared on a promo album "My  Music" in 2018 but there is no evidence that it was ever released.

SoulStrutter Top 20 - 24th Oct 2021



The SoulStrutter Top 20 of the most viewed posts in the last 30 days (i.e. blog readers choices).

Not a great deal of change this week with the top four all staying the same and Candace Woodson retaining the top spot for the second week.

Only four new entries from The Whispers, TanQueray Hayward, Ms. Kriss and MS1 Project and no major movers.

Note that non-artists releases do not feature in the chart i.e. podcasts, interviews, profile, playlists or mixes as if they did several of these would actually appear quite high in the chart.

The Deep Dozen - The Best Of 2021 - Part 1 (Oct 2021 Wk 42) Spotify Playlist



The "Deep Dozen" is a playlist of some of the best soul ballads and deep soul released in the last week.
2021 Wk 42

This is a new feature starting this week as I was conscious that many of the early tracks in The Dirty Dozen were ballads, so I thought I'd separate out the ballads and deep soul tunes into their own playlist to showcase the deeper side of the music. It also gives others an opportunity of getting aired especially some album tracks.


Playlist:
Tony Lindsay - True Love
Luke Burr Feat. Meron Addis - 4am (Live)
D. Saunders - Lucky or Blessed
Hollie Smith -  Tell Me
Carey Washington - Thinking of Me (Live)
Tony Dewayne - Da Player and the Monkey
Ida Divine - Alone
Tony Lindsay - I Adore You
Hollie Smith - Something Good
Hollie Smith - Heaven
Tony Lindsay - Spiritual Moments
