Soul-Patrol.Net Radio Top 40 (Early April)
http://www.soul-patrol.net
<a href="http://www.soul-patrol.net"> LISTEN TO: SOUL-PATROL.NET RADIO </a>
These numbers are compiled from our server logs. They are a relative ranking
of shows on
Soul-Patrol.Net Radio and are an indicator of relative popularity of the
audio programing
which appears on the site at any given point in time.
Nothing more. Nothing less
NEW MUSIC RULES THE DAY
(what can I say???)
The top 40 includes 14 shows that are focused on new music (1, 2, 3, 5, 12,
18, 22, 27, 28,
33, 34, 36, 38, 39)
- The popularity of our "Slow Jams 2005" show (#1) is proof positive that
artists like Alison
Crocket, Unified Tribe, Barbara Mason, Martha Redbone, Byron Woods,
Chi-Lites, RioSoul, Etta
James could co-exist on the same radio station.
(ARE YOU PAYING ATTENTION CATHY HUGHES????)
- The release of Victor Wooten's new CD ("Soul Circus) next week will pose
an interesting (but
nice) problem for us. To solve that problem we are going to incorporate his
new CD into his
existing link (#2 on this survey), so that yall will get a Victor Wooten
"Double Play" :)
- The release of Skip Martin's (of Kool & the Gang/Dazz Band) new
INDEPENDENT jazz CD called
"Miles High" is an important release for Black music. First and foremost
it's a tribute to
Miles Davis, one of the key inspirations for the existance of the
Soul-Patrol website.
Secondly it's a major move by a popular singer into a genre that he is not
well known in and
there aren't many singers these days who will pick up an instument and play
it as a
bandleader. It's sitting at #12 right now so lots of folks are listeneing.
Skip's obviously
bucking several trends. Check it out and let me know if you think he is
headed in the right
direction???
- Julie Dexter (#3), Cooly's Hot Box (#33), Krush (#36) all bear watching
because they
represent the concept of "back to the future". 10 years from now these
artists will still be
around and playing music that is consistant with the historical legacy of
Black music. And
they will be doing so long after many of those original artists have
departed from this earth.
THis is what we mean by "extending the legacy". The fact that so many folks
on Soul-Patrol are
listening to these artist is a healthy sign for the future.
- Soul-Patrol Jazz (#28 & #34 respectively) shows that the programing
tactics of the "smooth
jazz radio stations" may well be starting to wear thin. People are tired of
"whitebread jazz".
They want the REAL thing and they want it from artists like Queen Latifah,
Marlon Saunders,
D-Erania, Eloise Laws, Bobbi Humphrey, Kne-O'Chaw Hampton, Monnette Sudler,
Phillip Bailey,
Dale Fieldler, Jonathan Butler, D-Erania, Leroy K. Wofford, Digable Planets.
THESE ARTISTS KNOW THAT JAZZ ISN'T SUPPOSED TO BE MUSIC THAT PUTS YOU TO
SLEEP.
And the proof is in the pudding because folks that visit our site are
listening to it in BIG
NUMBERS
- And the NEW MUSIC keeps on coming. Look for the appearnce of more NEW
MUSIC on
Soul-Patrol.Net Radio from artists like Will Wheaton, Kashif, John Hickey,
Joe Quartermaine &
Free Soul, Like So, Devoted Spirits, Billy Jones Bluz, Dexter Wansel, Angela
Johnson, Brian
McKnight, Unifics, George Duke, Cassius White, Terry Johnson/Flamingos,
Stevie Wonder (and
many others very soon)
Anyhow...
Here is the Top 40 so far for the month of April/2005.
