Some Sunday Soul


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 EasyDrew 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)

  1. 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).

  2. Well no one else's zippy downloads have resulted in any porn whatsoever never mind the deluge of depravity that accompanied your Paulo Nutini songs

  4. There'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.
