    I grew up in South Central LA in a predominantly (my family was the only mixed one around) black neighborhood. I had a bunch of friends with older brothers who taught me everything about RB and Soul. Grew up listening to the Delfonics The Chi Lites The Stylistics Tower of Power Brenton Wood Al Green Lady T etc

    little soul trivia- Syl Johnson popularized the saying “Is it because I’m black?” with this heater. He’s also Chad Ochocinco’s dad

    Saw him open for My Morning Jacket a couple weeks ago and he was great. I'd only heard a couple of his songs to that point but he certainly cemented me as a fan.

    I absolutely love FJM, one of my faves. Less familiar with Nathaniel Rateliff but have heard some of their stuff, just never dug in real deep.

    some more tunes I like

    PP Arnolds version of Medicated Goo, just as good as Steve Winwood's imo. Just a fantastic voice, like a Martha Reeves.


    also have been on this one from Ann Peebles

    I went to school with the guy in the light blue dress shirt. He played guitar for Jason Isbell before Jason got sober but after he left DBT. He was a phenomenal guitarist in high school and only got better. He also painted/designed some of Isbells album covers and some of the cans for Straight to
    Ale. I wish I had a fraction of his talent, he’s a cool dude.

    Lots of good stuff already posted. Throwing on some classic soul on the back porch on a pretty day is one my faves. I may have scrolled past it, but didn’t see any Etta James posted. One of the best
