John Reed Posted May 22, 2009 Share Posted May 22, 2009 (edited) Instumentals being classed as soul has never really sat with me very well, but as part of a dance or overall genre they can be great. I've always loved Scrub-Board by the Trammps. Not northern, but I don't think you can get better than Fred Wesley & The JB's - Blow You Head Edited May 22, 2009 by John Reed Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Ian Parker Posted May 22, 2009 Share Posted May 22, 2009 Young holt unlimited - California montage. very soulful instrumental Ronnie n Robin - Sidras theme, the snare drum on every beat with the simple 2 beat fills does it for me. great tune Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Many favourites over the years but two that I'm currently playing are: Matta Baby - Do The Pearl Girl Subway Riders - After The Session Are they as popular as they used to be? No. John.

Soft Walker Posted May 22, 2009 Share Posted May 22, 2009 I don't generally like to hear instrumental versions of a good vocal record - one that really springs to mind is the instrumental version of Mickey Lee Lane - He Sha Lo Ney. I do like good instrumentals in their own right though & 2 of my favourites are- Green Onions - Booker T & The MGs - been a favourite of mine for about 25 years & still gives me a tingle when I hear it Detroit City Limits - 98 cents plus tax - pure, seemingly effortless, quality Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
