Month: July 2015

Before embarking on a one-week hiatus, Don dropped by the studio to lay down some soul and disco jams. There’s some tasty licks in here, but how many exactly? Ask Mr. Owl. We’ve got some killer cuts on Mel Cheren’s West End Records, legendary cuts from Cerrone and Letta Mbulu, and an awesome gem from noted Mike Huckaby supporter, Tony Orlando. Speaking of Orlando, Orlando Riva Sound (ORS) checks in with a killer mix with Tom Moulton called Moon-Boots. Listen and love! Swishen and lurve!
