I made this mixtape before embarking on the new Opensouls album – “Standing in the Rain” It covers a large range of 50′s, 60′s, 70′s soul and I used it as a reference for recording instrumentation and vocals.

Enjoy

To kick of this blog here is a solid track from the godfather of some sort. “…we watched it again on DVD recently, just to see [Paul] Weller really … with fuckin’ no socks on, dancing with no guitar.” – Noel Gallagher.

Song: The whole point of no return.

Artist: Paul Weller (Style Council)
