Red Hot Souldies - 06 - Chapter Six - Take It Easy, Ese

Two of the Soul Brothers, Mello and East LA Guy, couldn't make it to the party this time round. It's a pity coz this is gonna be the last of this series. But sometimes the business/busyness of real life catches up with the familia. So it's just the last men (and woman) standing ! Bloodied but unbowed, Dos Hombres y Una Mujer dig deep to bring you the best of rolitas one last time. BillyMac and Rosalie came through with some additional tunes and I've taken up the slack for the picks we're missing from our Blood Brothers. Never quite the same when it's not the A-team,  but as good as it's gonna get under the circumstances ! We all enjoyed making our contributions to this series - there were some exceptional tracks and hard-to-find rarities amongst the selections. You'll find label scans in the package. It only remains to wish you all "Feliz Navidad" from The Blood Brothers and Sister Rose. Who knows what next year will bring ? Good listening ! RB
