Not the newest, don't need to be the raers, just stuff grabbed recently or pulled out of the stacks that have been doing the trick on repeat play: So, what y'all got in "heavy rotation?"

Nice one...do you have this:
One of my favorite live albums by anyone, ever.
The Emotions- "so I can love you"
The Montclairs- "dreaming out of season"
Hal Galper- "wild bird"
Andrew White- "fonk update"
Tom Smith- "still lifes"
The Roots of Orchis- "some things plural"
Dennis Driscoll- "voices in the fog"
Trad Gras Och Stenar- "djungelns lag"
Friendly on so many levels.
man, even the wrist wrap on the cover alone makes this one
kills eet
...flawless from start to finish.
Yeah Guzzo. Co-sign on that. I don't care how common this is, it's the shit, plain and simple. "Early In The Morning" reminds me of childhood, cuz my mother used to play it all the time. Charlie Wilson = dope-ass singer. Love his style.
Heavy rotation right now:
francois hardy - la question
cannonball adderley - 74 miles away/walk tall
cyne - evolution fight
devin the dude - just tryin to live
cortex - troupeau bleu
thats my shit right there

Various -- Eccentric Soul -- The Capsoul Label . . . CD . . . $13.99 List Price: $14.98 (Item: 355275)
Numero, Early 70s Condition: New Copy View Cart
A treasure trove of funk and soul from one heck of a great little label -- Columbus, Ohio's short-lived Capsoul imprint -- only around for 5 years in the 70s, but home to a great flurry of indie singles! We first caught onto the label's brilliance with their funky classics "Hot Grits" by Elijah & The Ebonies and "Sock It To Em Soul Brother" by Bill Moss -- but as this set wonderfully demonstrates, the label's got a heck of a lot more to offer -- and all of it great! The label's brilliance has been masterfully unearthed by the crate-digging team at Numero Records -- who've brought together 19 of the best Capsoul singles in a beautiful package that really tells the story of the tiny imprint, getting at the details and struggles that faced independent soul in the marketplace of the 70s. Way more than just a set of old singles, the set's a rich document of indie soul in one of the near-forgotten corners of the Midwest -- filled with great tunes that may well have you booking the next flight you can find to Columbus! Titles include "Sock It To Em Soul Brother" by Bill Moss, "Pure Soul" by Elijah & The Ebonies, "Without Love" by Ronnie Taylor, "You're All I Need To Make It" by Johnson, Hawkins, Tatum, & Durr, "Hot Grits" by Elijah & The Ebonies, "Too Far Gone" by Four Mints, "I Want To Be Ready" by Kook Blues, "Go On Fool" by Marion Black, and "Number One" by Bill Moss.

Outlaw country-rocker at his slow-rollin' best. Even though a lot of his songs were accented on the one and the three, Waylon was pretty damn soulful in his own subtle way.
Some of Alphonso Johnson's best bass lines on this!
Found this while digging through my stash this morning before going to work. This sounds better than 90% of what currently gets heavy rotation, even though this was made 5 yrs ago.
Tough chunky Root Radics backing and crazy high vocals voiced at Tubby's makes this
Worth it alone for Junior Delahaye's "Stormy"...but the rest slams, too
Again, a heavy Tubby presence with plenty of fast jump-up material. Need I describe Dennis Brown's vocals? Includes an incredible version of "You're No Good"...and oh yea, braeks! The Har You behind it ain't bad either.
Llans cut his teeth on the resort circuit in Montego Bay nad had an ultra-tight band which included now-Toronto resident Joe (Jo Jo) Bennet who arranged the tunes on the above lp (and was an Alpha Boys school attendee along with fellow Toronto pal, Jackie Mittoo. I don't know exactly what was going in Mo Bay at the time, but some of the funkiest music I've ever heard stems from musicians whom spent some time there. This album goes from US soul covers to Thellwell-penned ska to jazz-dance. Check their rendition of "Jive Samba"
Deep roots jams - 3 songs a side. I pretty sure that picture is from Jackie's Scarborough basement. I should have taken picture of the rear cover, because his eyes look so red-out.
