Rhythm Message (available in e-book / PDF format only) An exploration of lesser known southern soul, by E. Mark Windle ***Order via link*** https://a-nickel-and-a-nail.myshopify.com/collections/books/products/rhythm-message-e-mark-windle The backcover blurb: Biographers of 1960s southern soul music traditionally concern themselves with the popular songs and singers associated with Stax, FAME and Atlantic. However there are a myriad of lesser known artists whose histories until now have not been fully documented. Some acts - white, Black and racially integrated groups - were well received regionally but failed to break out at a national level. Others had talent but passed relatively unnoticed due to under-financed labels, poor promotion or uncredited work. Quality soul music also surfaced via custom recordings which by their nature featured very low pressing runs. These artists were an integral part of the creative fabric and local culture of the time. Many of their musical contributions have received rightful recognition on the rare soul scenes in the UK and Europe. In this follow up to It's Better To Cry, E. Mark Windle continues his search for artists, relatives, label owners and key players linked with these recordings. Their stories now provide a permanent document of an important facet of southern soul and R&B history, which may otherwise have been lost forever. Artists from the Carolinas, Virginia, Texas and Louisiana are discussed in this biographical collection, including: the Showmen, the Passions, Troy Marrs and the Dynamics, T.S.U. Toronadoes, Merle Spears, Lee Tillman, The Astors, Sam and Bill, the Elvitrue Passions, Bob Marshall and the Crystals, Bernard Smith and the Jokers Wild, Lost Soul and many more.

Soul In Print. A History of Soul Music Fanzines and Magazines - a book by Iain McCartney ***£5 discount on RRP. Order via link https://a-nickel-and-a-nail.myshopify.com/collections/books/products/soul-in-print-a-history-of-soul-music-fanzines-and-magazines-iain-mccartney The blurb: Soul music remains the biggest 'underground' music scene in the world with each weekend, pre-Covid19, seeing countless soul nights and weekenders fill the diaries. Records, on often obscure labels, change hands regularly for four figure sums. But for many to learn about those 'four-figure' tracks and those who recorded them, they have had to rely on countless diehards on the scene. Those who seek out details of an artist's career and compile discographies of the labels on which they recorded and then take the time to put it all into print in the form of a fanzine, or if finances allow, a fully-fledged magazine. Some of those publications failed to last beyond one issue, others longer. There have been books about the artists, the record labels and the venues. Now 'Soul In Print' fills a gap, covering the fanzines and magazines which did so much to keep the scene alive and maintain the interest which continues today (large format colour and B&W illustrated, 186 pages).

Hey America! The Epic Story of Black Music and the White House (HARDBACK) - a brand new book by Stuart Cosgrove. ***Order via link*** https://a-nickel-and-a-nail.myshopify.com/collections/books/products/hey-america-the-epic-story-of-black-music-and-the-white-house-hardback-stuart-cosgrove From Penderyn Music Book Prize winning author, Hey, America! is the story of how black music came from the margins of American life in the early twentieth century through to the mainstream under Barack Obama’s presidency and then was mobilised as a force for radical opposition to Donald Trump’s presidency. Embedded in the story is the triumph of black music over the many forces that had held it back – racism, segregation, undercapitalised record labels, media discrimination and political anxiety. Stuart Cosgrove explores the connection of black music industry with politics through the decades, from the spat between Louis Armstrong and President Eisenhower, Eartha Kitt’s encounter with Lady Bird Johnson, the Vietnam War’s influence on soul, James Brown’s flirtation with Nixon, and the societal impact of Hurricane Katrina to the stand-off between Trump and BLM (368 pages, hardback, 800g, new).

I have stock in just now at A Nickel And A Nail if anyone wants a copy of Hey America. As an aside, will also be restocking most of Stuart's other titles later this month.

Great achievement Mike, well done.The site's truly been part of the fabric for a long time now and serves the whole community well, regardless of which part of the soul scene people occupy and shout at each other from. It's so easy for people to take platforms like this for granted when they've been around forever, and I appreciate the hard work gone into creating - and maintaining - what it is.
