Press Play #55 - Moonboots
To make up for recent quiet times here on a.n.o.e. you get a brand spankin' new mix from Moonboots. Well actually we refer to him as Sir Moonboots around these parts because he's the boss of soundtracking those quiet summer nights, trips to the beach, driving across the dessert in yer jeep and pretty much anything that involves living. Richard's mix goes beyond the Balearic in search of beautiful golden autumnal beats only to discover a message in the music along the way, a message that's both timeous and timeless. Moonboots has an uncanny knack for digging up previously little known gems that sound instantly familiar and almost as instantly get added to a long list of must have records. His 'Falling Leaves' selection is very fine indeed, classic Moonboots in fact.
We gonna run this one 'mystery mix' style, so if u spot anything drop it in the comments section and I'll get a playlist going. Huge thanks go out to Richard for the beauteous blend, it's more than a delight having you drop in on our little corner of the web. For the rest of ya, get downloading...

That Willie Wright album is essential for those of you who don't have it yet. Scott Walker 1 - 4 is pretty much needed as well.
Nicely done, Moon.

Request to know the number nine track. It's Peter Nero and the track is called "Soul Ballet". an album I picked up back in the mid 90s because it had such a cool cheesy sleeve...LOL!
Here is a link to a edited version done by us a couple of years ago

Hello,
I'm writing to let you know that soul music's "mystery man," the enigmatic Willie Wright, famed for his funky 1970 cover of Curtis Mayfield’s “Right on for the Darkness,” has just released a new album, his first in 35 years. His 1977 classic, "Telling the Truth" was re-issued last year by Numero Group in Chicago. The re-issue got very positive response from soul fans and new listeners; "Good Morning America" featured one of the tunes ("I'm So Happy") from it on May 7, 2011, and the first pressing of the re-issue sold out in a matter of weeks. All of this inspired Willie to ease temporarily out of retirement, assemble a new band with some old friends in Burlington, Vermont, and create this collection.
The new album, all recent, original compositions by Mr. Wright, is called “This is Not a Dream.” It was released by Green Coil Records in Burlington, Vermont, U.S.A. on April 24, 2012. You can hear all the new tunes here: http://www.myspace.com/willie_wright and see some videos and read the complete liner notes, as well as buy the CD directly from the artist at www.williewrightmusic.com He is now 73, living in Providence, Rhode Island, and copes with advanced Parkinson's, but can still make arrestingly beautiful music with his characteristically thoughtful lyrics. His "smooth as warm butter" voice is still powerful, although at the same time it now reveals a more fragile and emotional side than in his early career.
Given that he is not able to gig or tour in support of the album, we are depending on reviews and word of mouth to promote it - please give a listen and let us know what you think.
Thank you
Bob Green
