Tony's been on hiatus, but he's back. Some super sweet, super romantic love music, as only Tony can bring it.
Q'65 - Get Out My Life Woman
Stay within the waves.
Rasa - Within The Sound
More from the Hombres. They only did one album, and it has absolute diamonds all over it. "Let It Out" made the cut for Shipment One. And we gave you "Gloria" a few weeks back. And now, "This Little Girl"
The Hombres - This Little Girl
Monday got Garfield. Don't let it get you.
Keith Mansfield - Big Shot
But back to the Tony grind. Some insanely wonderful reggae soul from Barbados. Been holding it back for a minute, but it's Friday, so we should probably party.
Wendy Alleyne - Hey Mr. Blues
Ride a painted pony, let the spinning wheel spin.
Shirley Bassey - Spinning Wheel
Isaac Hayes was an animal. He was the soul behind Stax and everything else that was built from it. "Hot Buttered Soul" is a classic of classics. And to this Uncle writer, the Theme From Shaft is as brilliant a composition as an anything Mozart ever laid his hands on.
Rest in Peace, Isaac. The music will live on forever.
Isaac Hayes - Theme From Shaft
Isaac Hayes - Walk On By
Isaac Hayes - Hung Up On My Baby
Isaac Hayes - Hyperbolicsyllablecsesquedalymistic
The only way to wake up...
Robert Palmer - Woke Up Laughing (at 45)
It's tough to do the Beatles better than the Beatles, but we're not all that far off. Dear Prudence, with little more soul.
Reconstruction - Dear Prudence
A few months back, after a pretty absurd encounter in a Miami record store, we got the first box of records. Tony promised, and he delivered. For a couple weeks now you've reaped the benefits of our score, a cut a day of prime sounds. But all those are the tracks that hit the cutting room floor, that didn't make it. This right here is the cream of Tony's crop. The best of the best. The 19 most murderous gems we found in that first shipment. From him to us, and from us to you. Enjoy.

The good news is there's more on the way.
Sorry we missed you yesterday. More Tony. More Galt. Sunlight shining through the trees....
Galt MacDermot - Sunlight Shining
Only Tony can win, only Tony can win your love...
The Sylvers - Only One Can Win
Fabulous flutes for Friday. Fantastic!
Seatrain - Flute Thing
Galt moves clothes. Tony moves hips, and mountains.
Galt MacDermot - Moving Clothes
And on the 8th day, God created soul. And Soul created Tony, and Uncle created an Empire.
The 8th Day - Anythang
Which came first, the Unk or the Empire.
KoKo Taylor - The Egg or the Hen
Daily Love and Happiness, courtesy of Tony Baritone.
Lee Perry & The Upsetters - Jungle Lion
Another absolutely fucking great song, courtesy of Tony B. Done by everyone and their mother. Van Morrison did it first. Hombres did it really damn well.
The Hombres - Gloria
Teach 'em how to dance Tony.

Tony really sent us some treats. The fifties to the 80's, and everything in between. Jerry Gilmer to Gerry Rafferty. A little bit of Rafferty sweetness, courtesy of Mr. Baritone.
Gerry Rafferty - Right Down The Line
