The Dirty Dozen - The Best Of 2021... Part 43 (Nov 2021 Wk 47) Spotify Playlist
My selection of the best releases this week (Nov 2021 Wk 47)
In no particular order other than tempo.
There aren't enough non-original tracks i,e. covers etc. this week so I won't be posting a Covers Dozen this week so instead I've extended the main dozen to twenty tracks.
Whilst there are some 'good' tunes around, nothing has really stood out from the crowd for me personally so choosing this week's SoulStrutter selection wasn't particularly easy but I've chosen Eugene Cole's new single "Together Forever In Love". However, I do also quite like Kraak & Smaak "Persuade You" and Maverick Sabre "Can't Be Wrong" is definitely a grower. As is often the case though, after living with some of these tunes for a few plays, others will pop out!

SoulStrutter Top 30 - 21st Nov 2021
The SoulStrutter Top 30 of the most viewed posts in the last 30
days (i.e. blog readers choices).
Twelve new entries into the top 30 this week. Silk Sonic 'inevitably' tops the chart this week. I'm pleased that the quality of the J'Cenae album (last week's SoulStrutter Selection of the Week) has been recognised by entering the chart at #7. It's unfortunately highly unlikely to make any of the UK soul charts though as it's a connoisseurs album for the minority who appreciate deep soul music.
The highest climbers are Regi Myrix, JKabel, The Buttshakers, Nicole Henry, Doc City (another quality album that probably won't trouble any other chart) and Judi Jackson. I'm also pleased to see Dames Brown's jam enter the chart, one of the best funky dance tunes around for weeks if not months.

The Dirty Dozen - The Best Of 2021... Part 42 (Nov 2021 Wk 46) Spotify Playlist
My selection of the best releases this week (Nov 2021 Wk 46)
In no particular order other than tempo.
Not so many album tracks this week only three Robert Brown. MALIYA and
Thuy with another from an EP D Mills. The remainder are all
singles.
Choosing this weeks SoulStrutter selection wasn't easy as I try to
steer away from non-original material as there are several good ones in
this weeks
Covers etc, Dozen
such as Tony Hightower, the new remix of Marvin Gaye's "Save The Children", Teddy P etc.
So I narrowed it
down to three which are all completely different, the funky jam by
Dames Brown, JKabel's gospel soul an another gospel song with jazz flavours by
Robert Brown. . The album track "Universe" from Thuy is also really growing on me as is Zenesoul. After due consideration I've gone for Robert Brown's "Hold Your Head Up" but it really could have been any one of them.

The Dirty Dozen - The Best Of 2021... Covers, Reissues, Remixes & Samples Part 35 (Nov 2021 Wk 46)
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 (Nov 2021 Wk 46). (In no particular order).
Quite a lot to choose from this week with a couple of Motown remixes of Marvin Gaye and Undisputed Truth and also one from Teddy Pendergrass. I was tempted to include a few tracks in the main dozen but one is a cover (Tony Hightower), another a sample (Snoop Dogg etc.) and the other a remix although it was only an album track originally from Regi Myrix.
Reissue: Silver Platinum x2, Judy Freeman & Blackrock x2
Remixes: Marvin Gaye, Undisputed Truth, Regi Myrix, Teddy Pendergrass
Samples: Snoop Dogg & DJ Cassidy Feat. Mary J. Blige (Al Johnson)
Covers: Lance Ferguson (The Sunset Band), Tony Hightower (Creative Source/EWF) Shaina Shepherd (Lee Fields & the Expressions)
