Straight from Ubiquity records – The new-old sounding urban-funk-soul record of Darondo is simply, something to reckon with. Let My People Go has got elements of Al Green, Sam & Dave, and this early soul groove that normally sounds generic to me and done. This is the real deal. If you love “If you want me to stay” by p-Funk, and early James Brown, grab the first few tracks from emusic and put them in a mix along side the other greats and you are in like flin. If you dig the world urban-music thing you should also swing by on Wednesdays to Fuel friends. She posts this type of stuff about once a week — plus a bunch of other treats and recently a hilarious Jeff Tweedy SF Amoeba record store story. For those on the East Coast who have only heard of Amoeba records think of it as a close 2nd to the Princeton Record Exchange snobbery experience, which for the most part ‘wears’ away once you realize they are only like that because (A)they care and (B) some have worked there forever. I do have a Amoeba-T so I actually have sympathy for most music store clerks and vowed never to do. It’s much more fun to torture them and ask them stupid questions, but honesly having been shopping at these type of places for so long; I’m either friends with them or have learned to put the mask on and throw the attitude right back, it’s only thing they respect. ~Your sociological music pimp.
