You're The Kind Of Girl by truthandsoulrecords

LIAM BAILEY :: TRUTH & SOUL

New 7" Single from Truth & Soul Records, in stores now.



Four years ago, Liam Bailey visited NYC from his hometown of Nottingham, England to write and record songs with Truth & Soul (Jeff Silverman & Leon Michels), that could help secure him the ever elusive major label deal. Shortly after the group met, an instant chemistry led to a series of reggae and soul songs that have been long-time favorites at T&S headquarters. Soon after his visit, Liam Bailey signed to Polydor Records. This is the first 45 from an upcoming series of Liam Bailey singles on Truth & Soul.

Among those first couple songs are the roots reggae gems, "When Will They Learn" and "I'm Gonna Miss You". Both tracks are stripped down to the bare basics-- Drums, bass, organ, and vocals.

Liam Bailey has also released an EP on Amy Winehouse's imprint Lioness Records.

TIMOTHY MCNEALY :: EASY, EASY, EASY

I cant stop playing this!

“Until Brooklyn’s Truth and Soul label recently reissued Timothy McNealy’s “I’m So Glad That You’re Mine,” most of what anyone knew of this Dallas funk and soul veteran was as an instrumentalist. In the late ’60s, the keyboardist had been a member of Bobby Patterson’s Mustangs band, but he broke out solo in 1970 and formed the Shawn label. His output on Shawn was meager, but when funk collectors discovered singles such as “Sagittarius Black” and “K.C. Stomp,” they clamored for one of the scarce original copies. Strangely, though, the one single to actually feature McNealy’s vocals would go relatively ignored. In 1972, he released a single with a cover of Marvin Gaye’s “What’s Going On” on one side and this remarkable version of Al Green’s “I’m So Glad That You’re Mine” on the flip.”

This one is a sleep and personal favorite!
