The Long Way Home with Kris Holmes: Playlist from January 1, 2019

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.

Listener comments!
	10:14pm Uncle Michael: HFNY everyone.
	10:15pm Kris Holmes: Yep, HNY!
	10:19pm Uncle Michael: It's back to work tomorrow after 12 days off. Feels weird.
	10:20pm Kris Holmes: i bet
	10:21pm Uncle Michael: I begin to get used to the freedom.
	10:23pm Kris Holmes: absolutely
	10:29pm Uncle Michael: this donald jenkins is amazing
	10:36pm Kris Holmes: Yeah, it was a new one to me, i didn't know he had later stuff, nice surprise
	10:36pm Uncle Michael: Agree completely about Aretha's Columbia stuff. The conventional wisdom is more or less correct but she was way too good to be stifled. Sure, she recorded some inappropriate repertoire at Columbia but even some of that is kind of great. Yes, she was paired with more sympathetic musicians and producers at Atlantic...and she wouldn't mean as much without Atlantic...but really listening to the Columbia catalog provides a wealth of pleasures and a few revelations.
	10:38pm Kris Holmes: 100%
	10:41pm Uncle Michael: Aretha's musical rebirth at Atlantic is a little like when Ray Charles stopped trying to sound like Nat Cole. That said, I like that early Ray Charles stuff. It's not what makes him an important figure...but the records are still good.
	10:43pm Kris Holmes: Yep, some of Aretha's best jazz sides are on Columbia, as well as her toughest R&B.
	10:44pm Kris Holmes: Also agree the early Ray Charles stuff is just fine
	10:46pm Uncle Michael: I better push the keyboard back. Tomorrow is going to be a real adjustment and the day starts early. Thanks for the music, Kris. Happy New Year to you and yours.
	10:51pm Kris Holmes: Night Michael.
	11:32pm tullius: Great set. Had to switch browsers to say so: comments apparently don't work in Firefox.
	11:33pm tullius: Not often you hear some Tx. two step and La. aldus roger in the same show. Keep up the good work, people are silently listening.
	11:33pm Kris Holmes: Thanks. Yeah comments are also a pain in Safari on iPhone which is unfortunately how i usually tune it but don't comment. Glad you made the switch though!
	1:06pm Stephanie Veloz: Wow! You have one of my uncle's songs on there! Fito Riojas & the Sensations. Those records are very rare!
	2:58pm Fito Riojas: Great memories. Thanks for posting.
