		<title>The New Breed &#8211; P.M. or Later (Jamie) 1967</title>
		<description><![CDATA[

I have been trying to locate members of The New Breed for a long time with no real luck.  The confusion surrounding this band has proven to be quite a hardship to research, for in trying to cross facts many inaccuracies are found.  The New Breed was another great Dallas area group headed up by the master writer and vocalist Ron Price.  Ron wrote Texas hits such as “Wishy Washy Woman”, and “My Girl” for Jimmy Rabbit.

		<title>Carl Carlton-Wild Child (Back Beat 1970)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Before the disco sheen of &#8216;Everlasting Love&#8217; and &#8216;She&#8217;s A Bad Mama Jama&#8217;, Houston&#8217;s Carl Carlton (by way of Detroit) dabbled with the experimental sounds of psychedelic funk, if for only a short moment in his career. Steeped in druggy grooves, backward tape loops, and fuzz guitar tones, Carlton&#8217;s Wild Child makes for some of the best in this short-lived variety. Carlton ran the gamut of nearly every soul style; from early R&#038;B and southern funky soul to the 4/4 [...]]]></description>

		<title>Eddie Bo- If It&#8217;s Good To You (It&#8217;s Good For You Pt. 1) (Scram 1969)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
There&#8217;s little can be said about New Orleans&#8217; larger-than-life high priest of funk, Eddie Bo, that I could say otherwise (see F16C&#8217;s magnificent tribute to the man, here). Nevertheless, I feel it&#8217;s due time that we here at I&#8217;m Shakin&#8217; pay homage to the Crescent City&#8217;s most honorable jazz and r&#038;b musician/producer, if only in just a few short paragraphs. Surely, a few (dozen) others come to mind, but Bo was something else, a notch above the rest&#8211;a trailblazer in [...]]]></description>

		<title>Dimas-Why Am I Treated So Bad (Mr. G 196?)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
If it&#8217;s not completely evident yet, I have a love affair with chicano soul. Much like rock and roll and other pop genres, it&#8217;s a cross-bred culture&#8211;a bastard of interlacing geographies and folkloric traditions. In this case, it&#8217;s the way in which black R&#038;B beat and the Mexican conjunto combo created its own distinct musical identity and subsequent popularity amongst youth culture that makes it a uniquely American expression. And for today&#8217;s post, I thought I&#8217;d feature some JB-styled popcorn [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Argyles &#8211; Farmer John (PIC-1) 1966</title>
		<description><![CDATA[

Another San Antonio story, The Argyles were a group which formed in 1965, which rose to fame from one hit and went on to relocate to California and become The Children.  All five members hailing from different sections of the Alamo city: Alamo Heights, Keystone, Macarthur, Jefferson and Cole graduates, jumped into music at a young age.  The Members were: Steve Perron on guitar and VOX, Luis Cabaza on the keys, Ben Trieber on bass, Steve Anderson on [...]]]></description>

		<title>Black Blood and the Chocolate Pickles-Mississippi Mud (Black Blood 197?)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Novelty band names rarely get this good. Black Blood and The Chocolate Pickles cut their somber down-tempo funk number, &#8220;Mississippi Mud&#8221; in Baton Rouge, LA, on what I presume to be their own custom label, Black Blood Records. I was waiting to gather some more info on the group but they seem to be largely unknown, even in meticulous discography circles. 

Black Blood went on to distribute and re-release their 45 with Stax subsidiary Enterprise Records, changing their band name [...]]]></description>
