Out of the blue And into the black


Neil Young -Rust Never Sleeps

The first Neil Young tune I ever heard was Hey, Hey, My, My from this album, on a small transistor radio, played by John Peel, when I was supposed to be going to sleep.

I remember being kind of shocked that I liked it, because Young was considered hippie music.

Show me that love thing


Barbara Mason - Don't I Ever Cross Your Mind

As far as soul is concerned, I definitely favour the Philly side of things.

Barbara Mason had a unique voice, which I love.

She never quite established a position in the mainstream, perhaps because if the uniqueness of her voice, but held her own in the modern independent soul sphere, with some pretty awful 'response' records and some decent ones, like this Butch Ingram-produced single.
