Strawberry Letter 23
Shuggie Otis
Big thanks to everyone who made it down to Hotplate on saturday, it was a blinder!!!
Thought I’d post up some stuff for everyone still suffering from Glastonbury, there seem to be a lot of us out there!
Any chance you could move it to later in the year Michael??
Guess not….
Heard this at the festival and remembered just how amazing it was…
Sundrenched psychedelic soul vibes from way back in the early 70’s from the LP “Freedom Flight”... absolutely amazing stuff, as is most of his material. Although the amount is limited due to his retirement at the age of 22 he’s definitely worth investigating. I have no idea what prompted this but I’m sure there’s an interesting story out there… check out the guitar solo over the last minute or so of the tune, tripped out floaty action (does that make any sense or am I still suffering?) – what a dude.

Bar-B-Q
BBQ part I
After a nice afternoon burning dead things in the garden on Sunday, I decided to spread the sunshine joy with a sizzling BBQ themed post, spread over three parts. Best served with blackened fingers whilst wiping the tears away from your smoke stung eyes.
First up is Wendy Rene’s Stax R’n‘B classic ‘Bar-B-Q’, originally released in 1964.
