Wax Poetics Issue 32
Issue 32 offers a rare and insightful look at funk visionary Sylvester Stewart, better known as Sly Stone. We also follow reggae pioneer Jimmy Cliff through a long and textured career which spanned five decades and encompassed several milestones in the music and movie mediums.
Dam Funk
Rhythm Trax Vol. IV
Dam-Funk y'all! We big upped Dam's extensive collection of boogie and G-funk rarities in Issue 28 and are long-time fan's of his Burgundy City 12-inch. Now Dam has released his own captivating installment in the Rhythm Trax series, available on Stones Throw Records.
Gene Pitney (Musicor) 1968
"She's a Heartbreaker"
Although charting frequently through the early and mid-'60s, this slice of blue-eyed soul would be the Connecticut native's last sizable hit on U.S. soil. Pitney's unabashed guitar (and possibly his piano playing and drumming) is complimented with pep-rally trumpets and cascading strings. Pitney passed away in 2006 at the age of 66.
