The music of Nile Rodgers and Chic has had plenty of impact
over the years – and it had an especially strong power at the time of its
release – with a whole host of late 70s and early 80s soul acts taking on a
Chic-styled groove, and with amazing results! Nobody knows grooves of that
vintage than Joey Negro – and for this sweet little set, he brings together a
whole host of Chic-styled cuts from back in the day – tight, lean grooves that
really help find a dancefloor path past mainstream disco – complete with all
the sort of wicked basslines and sharp guitar parts you might expect! The
collection's full of surprises – maybe one of the nicest that Joey's given us
in years – and titles include "Together" by Odyssey, "Easy
Money" by She, "Let's Do It Again" by Nightlife Unlimited,
"Not About That" by Van Jones, "Heartache No 9 (special rmx
version)" by Delegation, "Feel The Beat" by Chad with GG Gibson,
"Good Times" by Charanga 76, "I'm In Love (Joey Negro
edit)" by Cela, "Everybody Needs Somebody Sometimes (part 2)" by
Ann Margret, and "Don't Sneak On Me" by Michael Zager. ~ Dusty Groove
TOM JONES - LONG LOST SUITCASE
Tom Jones makes his long awaited return with the release of
Long Lost Suitcase; the third in a trilogy of albums which visit his musical
roots following 2010’s Praise & Blame and 2012’s Spirit In The Room. Long
Lost Suitcase weaves yet another distinctive path via a catalogue of tracks
that have impacted on Tom throughout his career. The title seemed apt with Tom
having trawled through memories, recalling stories and anecdotes for his first
and only biography Over The Top And Back and the tracks comprise another
outstanding collection. The album becomes ever more pertinent with track titles
interwoven into the chapters of a book that resonate with reality over what has
been a truly groundbreaking and unpredictable journey. Long Lost Suitcase is
the heart and soul of a performer who is still willing to push the boundaries.
This album comes as a CD in a jewel case with a 16 page booklet featuring rare
photos of Tom’s career.Tom Jones makes his long awaited return with the release of
