So it seems like the older one is lost to time. It's time to represent the ladies of the game.

Found another copy of this after passing on it the first time.
Kind of a two or three tracker, but "The Last Day Of Summer" is perfect.
I can already feel a switch in listening desire toward string/orchestration-based female sounds for fall 2007 and could certainly use some recommendations for stuff to look out for.
Drewn: it's a good album, but I'd seriously recommend getting the reish of it and taking a listen. Kind of a mix of polished later 70's sound with some of that rawness that Gwen always brought in her songs. It is one of those LP's that you don't have to skip tracks on though which I appreciate a whole lot.
Everyone else: Yesterday, I was wondering around Amoeba trying to decide whether I shoudl get this album
Drewn was on the phone with me and said "just buy it"
best advice I got all day!
"Melody of Life" is a great lp. Most folks dig it for the track "All this love that I'm giving", but that can be found on 45. The title track really stands out for me also. IMO it's a really strong "mod soul" lp.

word to the sister soul!
And I hadn't even heard it! This is getting to be too easy...
and dont know if this one fit in this category, but it s one of my favorite soul album ...
Really?
That can't be too tough a pull in Philly. Highly recommended.
Her second album's not quite as good, but I like it, and it never turns up anywhere but Philly--I never see anyone from anywhere else put one up on the Bay.
No, we don't
We could use some of this though:
A beautiful record, tough to get and if you don't own it, you need to.
Can someone starighten me out on what the essential Barbara Acklin LPs are and which ones are simply compiled from her two previous releases?
old pic from the photobucket account...
Helene Smith is probably still my fave though. Or Carla Thomas, tough call really. Adam, do you have that new Nicole Willis record on Timmion? its super good imo...
no, I am sleeperating. BTW did you need that Barbara Mason on Arctic (the 2nd one) hit me on PM if so
some other female soul pics
Archie Bell is a transexual
I like that hand-on-thigh theme you came up with on the upper left.
this is the only one I've kept over the years... but there's another one that commands some dough and I think is worthwhile although I haven't heard it in some time.
yes indeed!
you can get the video shingaling posted on DVD, a six volume set of the TV show "the Beat"
If your level is inhabitted by mediocre funk-rock like Maxayne, I'd prefer not to.
I DL'd the crazy cajun recordings about on waxidermy but I'm hoping for some vinyl on this. did they ever release it in that format?
I dont know about an LP, all I have are the 45s
here are a coule pics I took of her here in Memphis at the Ponderosa Stomp
Vicki Anderson
Candi
Marcia Griffiths
to each his own.. i've got respect for lowrider soul. at least we agree on one thing
Do too. The first self-titled album was forgettable, but Maxayn & Co. got their groove quick with the next two, Mindful and Bail Out! For Fun. May as well throw in some Joyce Kennedy love (Mother's Finest recordings ONLY) as well as giving the female from Black Nasty some spotlight time as well.
