Favoriting The Long Way Home with Kris Holmes: Playlist from January 25, 2022 Favoriting

Kris Holmes's avatar View Kris Holmes's profile Favoriting

Twenty years of dusty fingers, frayed cuticles, & upper respiratory infections — from record digging and DJing around the globe — coalesces into a 2-hour journey through Rhythm & Blues, Soul, Funk, Jazz, Blues, Latin, Rock & Roll, and all points in between. Your speakers will be head-nodding, toe-tapping & even two-stepping to this vintage 45rpm party in no time. Hear favorite songs you didn't know were your favorites, aural treats & record-world problems from the vinyl side of life.

A DJ I know was coming down here and was asking about record shops which unfortunately to me aren’t that great down here so I sent them to Brian in addition to mentioning a few.

Kris Holmes:

well, if you're on headphones i hope the scratchiness of 60 years of San Antonio crud on these 45s isn't too bad! I cleaned them up as much as I could.

JtotheK:

Also Kris, what was the name of that 'lowrider oldies' podcast you mentioned on a prior show? i periodically check on amazon for a book about the subject by Ruben Molina, but used copies are uh, $400 at the moment, so . . .

^ And I do have some old Wax Poetics issues about the subject, which might be how I heard of the book? - thanks!

I’d also check out Lowrider Sundays on Mixcloud Jason

The Royal Jesters was pretty bad, thought it was clipping nose at first, but the next one didn't have it.

Yup. They changed their name a bunch of times in the 50s and early 60s before settling on The Rivingtons and having their most success.
