Kris Holmes's avatar View Kris Holmes's profile Favoriting

Twenty years of dusty fingers, frayed cuticles, & upper respiratory infections — from record digging and DJing around the globe — coalesces into a 2-hour journey through Rhythm & Blues, Soul, Funk, Jazz, Blues, Latin, Rock & Roll, and all points in between. Your speakers will be head-nodding, toe-tapping & even two-stepping to this vintage 45rpm party in no time. Hear favorite songs you didn't know were your favorites, aural treats & record-world problems from the vinyl side of life.

no way Matt, I'll give prizes to people 2nd time around if their name comes out of the hat!!!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 10:16pm
Little Danny:

Not your typical Memphis sound, the Dramatics. I guess they remained in Detroit during their Stax/Volt period.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 10:17pm
Matt from New Orleans:

They recorded in Memphis but were signed with a production team as a package deal.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 10:18pm
Little Danny:

A non-Memphis production team, Matt? Fascinating either way.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 10:19pm
Matt from New Orleans:

Don Davis & Tony Hestor from Detroit
Avatar Swag For Life Member 10:19pm
Little Danny:

Ah, okay. Huh.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 10:20pm

Davis & Hestor were based in Detroit and would bring talent to Stax.

Davis also produced Johnnie Taylor
