Boomtang All Stars Feat. Charlene Smith & Four80East [2023] - Count On Me (Head Nod Mix) [Boomtang]

The latest single from Boomtang is "Count On Me (Head Nod Mix)", originally released on Charlene Smith's 2012 album "Remixed" which in turn was remixed from her 1995 album "Feel The Good Times".

This time out it is billed as Boomtang All Stars feat. Charlene Smith & Four80East who are Toronto duo Rob DeBoer (keyboards, bass and guitar) and Tony Grace (percussion). It may be an edit as it is around 35 seconds shorter, or a remix but sounds essentially the same to these ears.

It has a good midtempo stepper's / head nodder's / toe-tapper's groove. It matters not a jot that it's perhaps ten or more years old as, if you've not heard it before then, it's new to you.

Boomtang All-Stars Feat. Michael Dunston & Four80East [2022] - Soul Revolution (Soul Cruisin' Edit) [Boomtang]

A track played on the UK Soul Chart Breakers show by Andy Tee a couple of weeks ago which was due for release on 15 Apr but doesn't seem to have materialised on DSP's as yet.

I'll stick my neck out and assume that this is in fact a reissue from Michael Dunston's 2010 EP "My Love" as it is the same length and on first impressions sounds the same but I'll post both versions and you can decide as it may be a slightly different mix. 

This time around though it is billed as Boomtang All-Stars featuring Michael Dunston & Four80East and only the "Soul Revolution (Soul Cruisin' Edit)"  has been released which is slightly slower slower and a little more laid back than the main mix.

The modern soulies will know the Boomtang label for the Sean Oliver 1997 floorfiller "You And Me" which was re-issued on vinyl 7" for the first time last year on Paul Mooney's One World.  The full album / 12" version was also posted, so if you don't know it, then 'get to know', you won't be disappointed.

Michael Dunston has been performing since 1969 and has appeared in several movies and sung with many groups including most recently Crack O Dawn, Soul Stew.

Big thanks to Bill Buckley (soulandjazzandfunk) for passing on.
