We'll See if this works...
Hi.
if you've somehow navigated to this page and are reading this, what you're looking at is a site I'm working on that will focus on soul music by artists who are very unknown... by that I mean, a "google" on them produces no results.
We wanna change that.

wow.
Hi Paul...
what a total surprise to actually find a comment up here in the construction zone!
thank you for the kind words.
Allen Toussaint is, in my opinion, the man who has created more quality B sides than any other person that ever lived! For that we are all forever in his debt... the fact that he has visited my humble website does my heart good.
He has always been cordial and open and just plain nice on the few occasions that I've had the pleasure to meet him... please let him know that all of us in the B side family love and appreciate all he's done for music in this country.
He is truly a class act!
(...as far as this offshoot site goes, the very first "case" for us 'soul detectives' begins with a DEESU 45. Stay tuned!) - red
Cool.. hey man since you're still working on this site do you want me to link you FHHN or wait until you get some content up...?
rdd, nice to hear the kind words about allen...i totally agree...and one of the few bright spots in this whole mess in new orleans is the fact that great musicians like allen have blessed us with their presense in nyc, and in other places around the country...
"soul music" having been rather on obession of mine for quite some time, whether it's from new orleans or memphis or chicago...it might be nice to "chat" by email with you about some of personal favorites...
as busy as i am with my "day gig" (i produce and distribute dvds for musicians that feaature great drummers, etc, if you have a chance, feel free to email me at hudsonpes@aol.com...
thanks again for the stuff that you are doing in the name of this great music...
regards,
ps
Hi Red good afternoon from across the pond.
I have three Haywood tracks on c.d. - all on the U.K. Kent label ( part of Ace Records ).
"I Wanna Love You" on "Pounds of Soul" (compiler - John Ridley)
"Warm And Tender Love" on "The U.K. Sue Story Vol. 4" (compiler - Mike Atherton)
"Let Me Whisper In Your Ear" on "For Connoisseurs Only, Vol. 2" (compiler - Ady Croasdell)
Ady is a font of information - contact him via the Ace Records website.
You may not have heard the unreleased "Let Me Whisper..." It's at http://rapidshare.de/files/17663957/03_Let_Me_Whisper_In_Your_Ear_Joe_Haywood.m4a
should you want to give it a listen.
Keep the faith

PLease put the team to work on the great Lee Bates. Love this guy.
Unfortunately, I can't find any info on him and have only heard International Playboy & Mean Mistreater
Another terrific blog. It's already been added to the links over at It's Great Shakes.
Hi Red
Lee Bates would be good artist to investigate.
If you need any help then please let me know.
Cheers
Colin

Hi Red,
I been reading your sites for sometime but have never posted, it's so good to see writing about artists that I love but cannot discus with my peirgroup as they have closed their ears to music over 6 weeks old it seems. I do try very hard to show them how great S.Soul is!
I'm pleased to hear you've met my hero (Allen Toussaint) and he's as sweet and wonderful as every track he's written, played or produced.
Keep up the fantastic work.
What about some detective work into Esquerita or Skipp Easterling?
All the best,
Orlando Jackson
