We finish 2015 with some Soul from deepest darkest Paisley courtesy of Paolo Nutini.
Wee Paolo has always been a bit of a musical chameleon dabbling in pop, rock and reggae.
On his third album Caustic Love it is pretty much exclusively Soul including many of his own compositions.
Puts me in mind of Terence Trent D'Arby in places without the arrogance.
It features a couple of covers including Let Me Down Easy. Drew featured the Betty Lavette original the other day
When they come to write the History of Scottish Soul I would imagine that it will be a pretty thin volume. Wee Paolo certainly merits a mention alongside the likes of The Average White Band and Emili Sande
More Soul in 2016
Paolo Nutini - Scream (Funk Up My Life)
Paolo Nutini - Let Me Down Easy
Paisley soul, I wasn't expecting much but I was wrong there, very good couple of tracks (that seemed to be accompanied by loads of porn videos showing up whilst they were working their way over here).
ReplyDeleteResponsible for the former not thel latter
DeleteZippy never gives me porn. Where do I sign...?
DeleteWell no one else's zippy downloads have resulted in any porn whatsoever never mind the deluge of depravity that accompanied your Paulo Nutini songs
ReplyDeletePlease let me know if anyone else is experiencing similar problems and I'll try to get it sorted

DeleteThere's a great tribute to Frankie Miller courtesy of a piece of public art on a building very close to where I work in the east end of Glasgow.
