Impulse was such a great label!
My mind-altering introduction to Impulse was the 1972 triple set Energy Essentials, which I bought after hearing Pharoah Sanders awhile before on Mike Raven’s RnB show…
One of my most-loved records…literally blew my head open back then and still does.
Robinella and the Cruz Contreras Stringband
Great vocals from Robinella Contreras, mandolin from Cruz and pulsating bass from Taylor Coker. A mix of jazz, blues, pop and bluegrass all done with hugely impressive musicianship. There is a similarity to Alison Krauss and Union Station.
Continuing on with Michael Stanley solo releases in chronological order. IMO the quality stayed high and he just kept putting them out there for his fans.
Didn’t purchase this after last weeks mixed reviews on here, instead chose to stream it to see whether it’s worth purchasing….it’s certainly not a classic buts it’s far from a bad album, some really nice touches….now on the to buy list
Peter Case - The Midnight Broadcast
A mix of blues and folk covers with some original material. You are taken on a road trip in the middle of the night as the radio plays. Another Case masterpiece.
