about

Sure, Mike Lenaburg could have followed in the footsteps of locals like Marty Robbins or Alice Cooper, ditching Phoenix when the palm-and-concrete 115-degree city turned an ice-cold shoulder on his exploits. But Mighty Mike stayed true to his town, believing his beloved Phoenix could sustain a soul scene to rival that of Detroit or Chicago or Memphis. From 1962 to 1980, Lenaburg documented Arizona’s truest funk ever to brave the desert: Sheila Jack, Michael Liggins, Small Paul, Ronnie Whitehead, Lon Rogers, We The People, the Newlyweds, and the soul trifecta of Super Souls, Soulsations, and Soul Blenders. Mike released singles on half a dozen of his own labels, including Homogenized Sound, Out Of Sight, Mighty, and Darlene; managed twice as many groups; owned a pair of record stores and ran two radio shows...all before he turned 30. Eccentric Soul: Mighty Mike Lenaburg excavates the photo albums and tape libraries of Phoenix’s second family of soul, that wrong side of the desert sound, a melange of Tejano psychedelia, flutey funk, horny hard soul, and fistfight doo-wop all done up with feral, unhinged production too off-the-wall for comparison. 2011’s double-LP issue features revamped liner notes, exclusive color photos and label scans, and a whopping 10 bonus tracks.

about

Eccentric Soul

Numero’s flagship Eccentric Soul series is effectively remapping the American soul diaspora. Each compilation explores, a US city’s smallest time hooks and would-be world beaters tossed into the glutted big-hole record sea of the '60s and ’70s. In this alternate universe are the unforgettable records that could have, should have, and never did. Find their stories here, retold for the first time. ... more

The Mage

I listened to Greg Foat before and really liked his waterfall-like piano style in the Hampshire and Foat Albums. On this album you'll also get to hear nice lyrics and a mixture between folk and jazz as well as the can-like drumming from the Heliocentrics' drummer. Yeah! StrangeFlow

The Dreaming Jewels

And another album by Greg Foat that is somewhere between dreamy and funky. It always hits the right spots and (also again) Malcolm Catto makes the tight grooves on drums. The track "Door into summer" can also be found on "The Dancers at the Edge of Time" as a different version. Superb Jazz StrangeFlow
