I've got a nice stack of 45s with That Driving Beat on eBay ending in a few days. These are all spare copies of tunes I've DJed. Nothing crazy rare, but good playing copies of some classics and necessities in a soul 45 collection.

The Swamp Dogg documentary plays at Speed Art Museum Cinema this weekend!

“What do you get when a soul legend, a film crew, and a half-painted swimming pool collide?” You get an unforgettable documentary that dives into the world of legendary outsider artist Swamp Dogg—a genre-bending musician with a heart full of funk, a mind full of ideas, and, yes… a pool that needs painting. 🏊‍♂️🎤⁠

Here's Central City, Kentucky's favorite sons The Everly Brothers covering The Spencer Davis Group! This came off their Two Yanks in England LP, which had the Hollies backing them at Decca studios in London on several tracks, although this one was recorded in Hollywood with a bunch of the top LA session musicians. I love records like this where a well-known artist does something a little outside of what they're known for, or to try to stay relevant after their peak successful years, so the Everlys going Mod is right up my street.

I'll play this and many more new finds on the next episode of this Sunday 6-8 PM Eastern on A R T x F M 97.1 FM, and on The Face Radio Tuesday 8-10 pm eastern.

We weren't even sure we'd have time to dig on our quick overnight trip to Cincinati last Friday night for the Queen City Soul Club monthly dance party. We did manage to squeeze a couple of hours in (thanks to one local shop being open later than most). We turned up some great stuff!
