for more than ten years soul jazz records have been exploring and documenting the sound of new orleans funk. now we turn their attention to the flipside of this musical coin - new orleans soul. these two musical forms share a lineage that begins with the citys enormous rhythm and blues explosion in the post-war 1940s and 1950s. new orleans soul incorporated the soulful vocals of the gospel church, the driving beat of rhythm and blues, as well as traces of the second-line parade bands and the latinized rhythms of the city. this album tells the story of new orleans soul and comes complete with extensive sleevenotes, exclusive photography, supreme sound quality and comes as super-heavy, super-loud limited-edition double vinyl album + download code.

auch wenn don bryant bei dem legendären soul-label hi-records nicht als einer der führenden künstler vermarktet wurde, war er doch ein integraler bestandteil der firma. so gehörte er zum songwriter-team von willie mitchell und war als sänger auf etlichen aufnahmen zu hören. als co-autor von -i can t stand the rain- von ann peebles schrieb er auch einen der größten hits des labels mit. zudem heiratete er ann peebles. auf seinem nun widerveröffentlichten solo-album sind echte soul-perlen zu vernehmen. zudem zeigt don bryant, dass er sich als sänger mit den großen namen des hi-records labels messen kann. lp only.

nrbq sind die mutter aller eklektizismus-bands. schon auf ihrem 1969er debüt-album coverten sie sun ra, spielten eddie cochran-rock & roll und komponierten die tollsten popsongs, was yo la tengo, bonnie raitt, paul mccartney, elvis costello oder den chefnörgler keith richards zu ihren größten fans gemacht hat. sie sind die ewige lieblingsband vom drehbuchautor marc scully, was sie zur wohl unbekanntesten band macht, die jemals bei den simpsons einen auftritt hatte. was aber auch dazu führte, das sponge bob schwammkopf immer wieder ihre lieder sang. aus der original-quartett ist leider nur noch keyboarder und sänger terry adams übrig, aber die aktuelle besetzung, die seit nunmehr 8 jahren zusammen spielt lässt für eingefleischte nrbq fans keinen wunsch offen. das neue album „brass tacks“ zeigt nrbq in ihrer ganzen prächtigen vielfalt. das berliner label staatsakt, das auch zum kreis der großen nrbq-fans gehört, ist sehr glücklich, sich in deutschland um die vermarktung und promotion für -brass tacks- zu kümmern.
