Wheedle’s Groove Vinyl Giveaway
After last weekend’s Bumbershoot experience, I’ve been in a soul state of mind, firing up Rhapsody and playing some certified oldies. When I have my midlife crisis and need to become a completist at something, I may have to become a classic R&B, funk and soul vinyl collector. Were I already one such person, an essential member of that collection would be 2004’s Wheedle’s Groove compilation, subtitled “Seattle’s Finest in Funk and Soul 1965-1975″ and curated by local DJ Mr. Supreme.

In addition to a re-release of the original Wheedle’s Groove comp, this week via Light in the Attic comes to the table with a new entry into the Wheedle’s Groove collection. Titled Kearney Barton after the classic sound engineer who was enlisted to cut the nine new tracks on completely analog gear in his home studio, a number of the songs feature the same old school soul cats as appeared on the first comp. In true NW fashion they’ve even snuck in a cover of Soundgarden’s “Jesus Christ Pose” with Pat Wright and the Total Experience Gospel Choir.
