███▌ Release ▀ ███
██▓▀ ███
███ In the liner notes for "Master of the Game" it says: ███
███ "For their Delta Groove debut the tight as a drum ███
███ road tested band entered the studio at the height of ███
███ their powers. "Master of the Game" showcases a set ███
███ of powerful Payne/Edmonson originals augmented by ███
███ fresh arrangements of great songs by the likes of ███
███ Johnny Taylor and Bobby Bland. " ███
███ ███
███ If we take a serious look at the history of Black ███
███ music, one of the things that we will find is that ███
███ it has rarely ever been just one thing. It's always ███
███ been about fusing together many different styles ███
███ Today when people see terms like "Nu/Neo Soul" it ███
███ brings to mind a "revival of a kinda jazz/funk/vocal ███
███ groove" that brings to mind artists like Stevie ███
███ Wonder, Earth Wind and Fire, Donny Hathaway, etc. ███
███ However this particular style is not the only one ███
███ that is undergoing a "revival" in Soul music today. ███
███ Back in the 1970's the sound of Memphis as ███
███ represented by Stax and Al Green was one of the ███
███ dominant forces in music. Listening to the title ███
███ track of the new album "Master of the Game" by the ███
███ Jackie Payne Steve Edmonson Band has my mind ███
███ floating back to those days. The song has got this ███
███ absolutely wicked organ/horn section combination ███
███ going on and it's combined with a story with a ███
███ headline that reads "When it comes to playing a fool ███
███ baby, I'm a master of the game". This is the overall ███
███ musical feel of the entire album and I like it. So ███
███ with that type of historical backdrop in mind, I ███
███ think that this is the type of an album that's going ███
███ to be opening more than a few doors as well as a few ███
███ minds. Today the term that is used is "Southern ███
███ Soul". When I think of the term "Southern Soul" it ███
███ brings to mind music from artists like Sam & Dave, ███
███ Otis Redding, Betty Wright, Latimore, Dorothy Moore, ███
███ Al Green and others from the past. Today "Southern ███
███ Soul" takes it's inspiration from that period/sound ███
███ and brings it up to date in a way that will make you ███
███ smile. In some ways it's a shame that we let the ███
███ names of the categories divide us as music fans, ███
███ when what we should be doing is listening to the ███
███ music. For example, does anyone here remember and ███
███ artist named Joe Tex? Well if you do, then when you ███
███ listen to the song "Sweet Landlady" from the album ███
███ "Master of the Game', your mind will immediately go ███
███ back and start thinking about the music of Joe Tex. ███
███ See in my mind anybody who is reviving the musical ███
███ style of someone like Joe Tex deserves all of the ███
███ props in the world. ███
███ ███
███ There are some people who try to treat Soul music as ███
███ if it's a "museum piece". Then there are those who ███
███ know that it has a future and seek to carve out a ███
███ path for it that uses the past for guidance. I think ███
███ that the Jackie Payne Steve Edmonson Band is doing a ███
███ pretty good job of clarifying the some more of ███
███ details of that path. ███
