Two amazing discoveries from Nova’s podcast “Out of the blue”.
First one: Coke Escovedo and his album “I wouldn’t change a thing”. (For sure he doesn’t look back in anger)
One of those lost musical blessings that DJs often loot. This is not so far from Sly and the Family Stones’ sound (especially Coke’s voice).
Second one: The heavy
And I can tell you that this sound weighs a lot. I do not know what you think about this little abstract but it completely turned me on. The singer has one of the highest and softest voice I know. The groove is smooth and the chorus dances in my head.
Hope you’ll like it!
Today I woke up in cold sweat. I dreamt that there were only men in this world; I thought we could only have sex with machine. Then a white lightning struck and it was sunny outside. Ooooh! I felt so good! Sunrays started to hot my pants… It was time for payback. Hey America heard me! I was back and I was proud! I got up of that bed on the good foot, took my dad’s brand new bag and had a funky good time… Chicago’s ladies had a hell of a stormy Monday!
We all know James Brown. The Godfather is far far away now, but the groove remains. And what a groove! I could talk about it for hours, so let’s juste select one song…. Funky drummer!
Not so famous, not so original, but so powerful! The intro’s smoothness! James’ voice (and poetical lyrics 
over the perfect blend of all instruments! What a song! Yet, it has not been called funky drummer for no reason! It is really amazing to have such a beat whith so much softness. The drums is not especially deep, flat or loud, even the bass is very light. Then, how can they get our feet to move like that?? Well I guess that this the funk’s magic!

Here is nice web map about: 
Led Zeppelin was my revolution. I discovered this band when I was 14 and I did not know anything about rock, blues, funk and all these things encompassed by the word music. Then came this scream over the deep gloomy bass line: “Been dazed and confused, soooooo long it’s not true”. Definitely amazing! But after the intro, it became something very very strange…
This is Led Zeppelin’s lure. These four guys were such great musicians that they could utterly let their creativity flow away. They had this ability to create something entirely different and weird while maintaining their credibility through thundering blues or groovy hard rock. Therefore one could go beyond the basic feeling of liking and not liking. Robert Plant’s voice is definitely not of the kind that you love at first hearing (especially after long years of pop music…). Yet, little by little I got addicted to it and I found the daily “radio singers” disappointing. Every listening brought new details and new experiences (and it still does!). I discovered another way of listening to music and it opened loads of new doors.
Today I have the feeling that we cannot judge music (and any other kind of art) with tangible facts. We cannot assess art, what only seems to matter is sensitivity. I do not know if it is right or wrong, but it is surely annoying. The “good taste” has been erased, thus there is no more trustful value. A simple “I do not like it” beats all your arguments. However, when I listen to L.Z. -do not worry, sometimes I also listen to other bands :)- I like to feel that this is genuinely good, though one can hate the sound; I like to think that he can understand why I love it. As music is globally becoming more commercial and basic, I think that bands that help you to listen differently are paramount. Though you cannot assert the goodness of your taste, I think that walking new paths and striving to remain open is the best way to develop the most accurate opinion.
No more serious talking! Enjoy:
