Digable Planets: Blowout Comb (The Blowout Breaks) I owe a lot to this record.
Released in the Fall of 1994, Blowout Comb effectively soundtracked the next six months of my life, turning me on to a whole new cast of heroes — namely Roy Ayers, but not limited to: Grant Green, Shuggie Otis, etc. If the group’s debut, Reachin, led to my raiding and recontextualizing my father’s jazz/soul collection at age 17, then Blowout only upped the ante two years later. Synthesizing and re-purposing the past few decades of soul, jazz and funk, the rabbit hole was blown wide open. FunkRunt. So who is keeping up with all of the "new" funk & soul / psych/brazil/african reissues and releases. Record Collector News. Beat Delete. What needs to be re-issued? A little something to chew on for the funk heads. Stark Reality - Acting, Thinking, Feeling: The Complete Works. Audiowood Barky Turntable. Soul Strut Community. Goddamn Willie Tee is awesome. Wah Wah 45s.
