Noble Watts is one of the roots of the rock n roll tree. Blistering screaming saxophone especially for the pretty girls.

The Itals released three roots albums all around 1980 and they are all crucial albums that are easily in my top 15 reggae platters. Other than the fact that Brutal Out Deh seems to have been recorded with the band in one room and the mics in another, it is a great, great song with almost perfect harmony vocals.


I was happy to grab a copy of Curtis Salgado and Terry Robb's album. Both are Oregonians I have had the pleasure of seeing many many times and both are extremely underrated musicians. Robb in particular can play anything.

Billy Butler was another builder working on the soul jazz building.He is always pictured smoking a pipe and he loved to work the volume knob to great effect.

Sharon Jones and the Dap-Kings are the finest living proponents of real soul. Period.
