Laurel Aitken - I Can't Stop Loving You / El Paso






Nice cover of the Ray Charles tune here by the legendary Laurel Aitken. Aitken was in the business from the beginning, recording during the 50s on 78s, before 45s became massively widespread. However, this one is from '71. Enjoy!

Jimmy Riley (As Chanel 5) - Love Brother / Old Kent Road






This one was on the most recent Ustream broadcast. I originally thought it was just a mislabeled Slim Smith's "My Conversation" but closer inspection has shown that it really isn't. This cut has lead organ, which I assume is provided by Jimmy Riley. I found his name for this disc through Roots Knotty Roots.
