The Soultronics. Background[edit] Tour and aftermath[edit] The group was broken up at the end of the tour; the tour started in early 2000 and ended at the beginning of late 2000 when D'Angelo's issues towards performing worsened.[1] A live album and a Soultronics studio effort were set for after the tour, the latter of which Questlove had stated that "[It will be] funk with a feeling.
This was a very, very hot band, and we feel like it has a lot more potential than what we got to do during [D'Angelo's] tour. "[10] However, hopes for both releases waned as D'Angelo's problems with alcoholism escalated, and impatient Virgin executives cut off funding for his expected third album in 2004.[1] Members[edit] Although some artists only participated sporadically during the tour, its members include: References[edit] External links[edit] D'Angelo & The Soultronics: "Send It On" (Live) at YouTube.

Rediscovering Lonnie Johnson. Blues Anatomy with Jef Lee Johnson. Do you want to write for Ink 19?
Range The world of blues, like that of the rock 'n' roll that came after, is one incestuous pool where everyone covers each other either in tribute or downright imitation. In the midst of competition, and with the passage of time, many musicians become forgotten. They become footnotes to those more vivid characters who drew inspiration from them and flourished in the public eye. When it comes to blues guitarists, we all know John Lee Hooker and B.B. And so, it is with all of this in mind, that Range Records gathered up some of the best blues players whose roots — like Lonnie's — are in Philadelphia and whipped up a tribute album.
