James Rivers

It's always nice to see that blogs and websites such as Soul Detective, Georgia Soul Blog, Funky 16 Corners and Sir Shambling are always adding to our knowledge of soul - another place I frequently drop into is Home of The Goove which specialises in New Orleans soul.

Home of The Groove recently featured James Rivers who I have a few 45s by plus one album but knew little about so it was good to fill a few gaps by reading the post. Since the advent of blogs in particular it is good to see how much more detailed information is being shared by people.

"Soul Searchin" is a mock live sax instrumental which drives along at fair rate of knots and has a tune naggingly familar? James had at least one other 45 on the label - Get With It/It's All Over.
