Guest Mix - Bold Soul Brother - Bo 'N' Brown 'N' Others

Welcome back!

I hope the end of the week finds you all good. With impending freedom in the form of the weekend just starting to appear on the horizon, I thought it would be a good time to drop the first of my pre-promised Guest Mixes of the year on you all.

After much toing and frowing, I’ve managed to tie down the one and only Bold Soul Brother aka Rich for a fantastic two part Guest contribution. When he’s not being pestered by myself, you can find him running his soul and funk website over at http://boldsoulbrother.com, which he modestly refers to as his ‘work in progress’. Hailing from good Old Blighty, his site features 45s from his collection, as well as some very nice Record Label over views, and is slowly but surely coming along nicely as a good source of information and music.

Today’s Part one of his double edged soul sword is titled Bo 'N' Brown 'N' Others and is a tasty little funk journey that should hopefully leave you looking forward to Part two, which will be hitting these pages shortly there after.

So with out further ado, Ladies and Gentlemen I give you the one and only Bold Soul Brother!!



“What you have in the mix you’ve heard was all mixed from vinyl, most from 45's, but I had to pull a couple of LPs too… these are tunes that sit on my “most played” shelves along with the likes of Baby Huey, Lou Courtney, Alvin Cash, Bobby Byrd, Sly & The Family Stone, The Meters, etc… it runs for 69 minutes, so grab a beer or two, sit back and enjoy…”
