Was ist Musik Is it because it’s Soul?

Heute mit einem Gastspiel von Matthias Westerweller, Freund und ByteFM-Kollege.

Soul Man Weller würdigt den großen Syl Johnson, der diese Woche gestorben ist:

“I’m happy I had the chance to see him perform live on July 21, 2012 at the @porrettasoulfestival in beautiful Porretta Terme in the Tuscan-Emilian Apennines near Bologna. The backing band was the incredible Memphis group The Bo-Keys, including Hi Records stalwarts Howard "Bulldog“ Grimes on drums and @turner.archie2018 on keyboards (both can be heard on this album as well) and former Bar-Kays trumpeter Ben Cauley. An excellent band led by bass player Scott Bomar alongside guitarist @joerestivo , @mfrankl3 aka Marc Franklin on trumpet, and saxofonist Kirk Smothers.

If you love Italy AND soul & blues music you should definitely consider a trip to the Porretta Soul Festival, a festival that runs since 34 years and over the years showcased the who is who of Southern Soul music singers - from Rufus Thomas to William Bell, from Dan Penn to Millie Jackson, from Eddie Hinton to Solomon Burke to name just a few - grazie mille Graziano!”

Dazu neue Musik von Leuten, die eines gemeinsam haben: Soul, sort of.

Amber Mark, Bree Runway, Junglepussy, Gabriels, Sly Johnson (no relation).
