Evelyn Taylor: “Look At Your Life”

By: Jack Anderson

We’re just past halfway through Black History Month but have only scratched the surface of Sacred Soul: The D-Vine Spirituals Record Story Vol. 1 & 2. This compilation preserves the legacy forged by producer Juan D. Shipp and engineer Clyde Leoppard and their incredible roster of Memphis ’70s-soul acts by digitizing these rare 45s for the first time ever. But if you’d prefer to listen to these remasters on wax, you can snag Sacred Soul on vinyl and lift up your spirits up across all four sides with steamy gospel originals like Evelyn Taylor‘s “Look At Your Life”.

Hide and Shine: “Can’t Wait to Catch Fire”

If you were going to try to stuff the new album from New York trio Hide and Shine into a box, it could only be a bento.

LYNN: “Slow Dreamz”

Kileen-based rapper LYNN has bars for days and enough butter in her emotive, croony tunes to get Kerbey Lane through an Easter weekend brunch shift. By the time her debut EP Middle of Madness came out last year, she’d already added opening slots for CupcakKe and Three 6 Mafia’s DJ Paul, and the album landed […]

Dorio: “Plastic Heart” [Live In Studio 1A]

There’s something about every song by Austin’s Dorio, the duo of Chad Doriocourt and Rachel Rascoe, that’s just sweet, sticky, and timeless. It simultaneously takes me to a certain sunny side of the 90’s; my old, cozy, West Campus apartment; and some of the best new music I’ve been listening to all year. It’s also […]

Andrew Vineski: “Today”

Austin pianist Andrew Vineski is the embodiment of modern vintage and self-confidence. Many artists these days will tell you their sound is inspired by a bunch of obscure musicians, or that they’re modernizing an existing sound. But I like a good subversion, and in the current state of new music, owning a love for the […]

Formed by DJ Moneyshot and Rackabeat, the pair have celebrated hit after hit– and not just singles, but full albums — an especially impressive feat in the streaming era. Not to be confused with neo-soul and […]
