Willie West & The Soul Investigators —
I Just Can't Leave You Alone (vocal, inst) ... 7-inch Timmion (Finland), 2018. New Copy ... $9.99
Massive drums really get this one going – a hard, heavy, almost-classic drum break that begins the tune – and sounds great next to the more easygoing vocals of Willie West – as he brings a great deep soul touch to the tune, alongside this floating flute played by Jimi Tenor! ...

F Spot, 2018. New Copy ... $20.99 22.98

Linear Labs, 2018. New Copy Gatefold ... $18.99 20.98
A very dreamy project from the mighty Adrian Younge – a special project that features two female singers in the lead, both working with this offbeat vibe that slightly recalls the way that Roy Ayers used female singers on some of his 70s records, especially the classic album by Ramp!
