    Hi Dave! You're quite right in the fact that those "all-instruments keys" have ruined a lot of the listening pleasure, behind a lot of great voices. Luckily, more and more authentic music is created lately, wittness Barbara Carr, Latimore (80 %), Otis Clay, Tasha Taylor... I hope we're heading in the right direction, but there's always the money factor. If Ecko's John Ward says that those indie SS CD's sell approximately 3,000 pieces, the shoestring budget is understandable; from the business point of view, not music. Hi Peter! That's a good suggestion, but sometimes I'd like to define it a bit more :-). Best regards Heikki

    Hi! I found the interview in question. Actually it was conducted already in 2007. I remembered slightly wrong. Her opinion on this issue is expressed in two last paragraphs https://www.soulexpress.net/deep207.htm#deniselasalle Best regards Heikki

    Hi! I remember when talking to Denise LaSalle a few years ago she said that "this music today is called soul-blues down here." She didn't like the term "blues" being used to describe today's indie material, released on Malaco, Ecko, CDS and such. It's interesting, if in Arkansas they don't know the term, where does the geographical line go? Where is exactly "down here"? Best regards Heikki

    Hi Dave! ... and thank you for your kind words. I think "Soul-Blues" is the most common word nowadays in those circles, so I guess we have to settle for it... but not forgetting "southern Soul", which is a broader term, including older material, too. Some seem to mix "Deep Soul" and "Soul-Blues", but there's a difference. All those "hoochie" dancers are as far from Deep or Hard as it can get. Best regards Heikki

    Hi! My complete Latimore story is now available as part of my report on the great Porretta Soul Festival at https://www.soulexpress.net/deep4_2013.htm There's also the question: shall we call it "soul-blues" or "southern soul" at the end of the column. Best regards Heikki

    Thank you, Peter! It really was a sad moment to find out about George's passing. He gave the impression of a very nice and laid-back guy, and you relaxed with him... on the phone, too.

    More information about "Soul Express - Deep Soul Column Nov 2012"
    New Deep Soul column 4/2012 (November 2012) now online! @ Soul Express DEEP # 4/2012 (November) Both Dorothy Moore and Mighty Sam have come up with impressive new albums, and it was rewarding to learn interesting details behind the music from the artists themselves. For those, who wish to know more about their careers as a whole, we've added on our website my in-depth features on Dorothy and Sam from the 90s. I also introduce Anthony Watson, who by no means is a newcomer having recorded for 35 years by now. His latest CD is a real delight. Then there's the normal dose of both new mainstream and Southern soul records (with a short comments from Peggy Scott-Adams, too), as well as retrospect compilations... plus one book, Bettye LaVette's controversial biography.
