What's Spinning

I was looking for a copy of this album not to long ago because it was a jukebox staple at the bar I worked at a couple decades ago. Then this morning for the first time ever Goodwill had a couple records I actually wanted that were in decent shape, including this one for $0.50 each!

Abdullah Sami - Peace Of Time (Spiritmuse Records, 2019 Limited Pressing)
Father Tom Vaughn - Joyful Jazz (Concord Jazz, 1976 First Pressing)


These might not appear to go together.....because they dont. But they are both fantastic, superb stuff from start to finish. The Abdullah Sami is a reissue of an incredibly obscure and rare spiritual jazz album. The Joyful Jazz is from another obscure musician, a priest by day and jazz pianist by night.

US Terre Haute pressing. 2nd pressing maybe. A nice Elvin Bishop lp. The guest artists include Dickey Betts & Charlie Daniels.

What an underappreciated artist. Most folks will lump Elvin into 70's southern rock but his blues work with Paul Butterfield is so good and so much of his solo stuff is more funk and soul than swamp rock.

Plus, he pioneered King Buzzo's hair...
