Isolation Mix Fourteen


Isolation Mix 14 or Songs The Lord Sabre Taught Us. Fourteen songs, an hour and a quarter mix of records played by Andrew Weatherall. Most of them, not quite all but most, I heard first because he included them in a set or a mix on the internet or one of his radio shows, for 6 Mix or Music's Not For Everyone, or he referred to them in an interview. The quality of the songs and the breadth of genres and styles tells you everything you need to know about his taste and ear for a tune. The selection of songs here spans 1956 to 2019 and covers rockabilly, blues, 60s modbeat, post- punk, weird southern blues/ rock/ gumbo, 80s dance and proto- house, krautrock, Paisley Underground guitar heroics, 21st century fuzz rockers and electro- cosmische funkers, ambient- drone, avant- disco and a 70s country tinged ballad. Something for everyone.



Tracklist-
Cowboys International: The ‘No’ Tune
James Luther Dickinson: O How She Dances
Wayne Walker: All I Can Do Is Cry
The Animals: Outcast

James Luther Dickinson 'O How She Dances'


James Luther Dickinson, Southern rock 'n' roll and country-soul background guy, worked with The Stones, Big Star, and Sam and Dave amongst others, and more recently Spiritualized and Primal Scream sought him out. His solo stuff was 'wasted white boy music' and fits in with records like Dr. John's Walk On Gilded Splinters; voodoo, tribal, woozy, Southern US rock 'n' roll. This isn't irritating boogie-woogie though. This record is an off-kilter, voodoo, drum heavy, Southern gothic celebration of a travelling freak show, and specifically a dancing girl who 'shimmies just like jelly on the plate'. Dickinson's carnival man vocal advises the men in the audience that they'd all stay at home if they could teach the dance to their wives. Download it folks, you won't regret it.
