 Check out our licensing page! We represent  Southern Americana Music. Some of our successes are posted on the site ... we are adding new placements all the time... we can supply the master and the publishing in most all of our offerings.  The video below is Minaret Tribute,  "I'll Just Keep on Loving You" by Doris Allen. There is not much material on here that is available. I did a quick remix from the tape transfer on Luna.

Bobby Ray Watson is synonymous with names like R.L. Burnside, Fred McDowell, Johnny Woods, Junior Kimbrough, Jim Dickinson as well as Ike Turner. You can always tell a Bobby Ray Tape...Its starts at proper audio levels and as the night goes on, the further in the red the meters read. This is a powerful collection of songs!

Jimmy Gresham

Our Feature this week from Spain's Soul 4 Real Records, This is the fabulous Jimmy Gresham! This is Jimmy's 3rd release on the Soul 4 Real label. These tracks all came from the Playground Vaults. We started “A Million Things” with a bass and drum with Jimmy's vocals… these were recorded in early 80's. Clayton came up with a great guitar part and Alex from Soul 4 Real decides he wants Memphis horns and strings. Scott Bomar and team helped us out and to top it off Jimmy's sister Mary, also a soul artist did backing vox in the Shoals. It was mastered in France and released in Spain. SOUL 4 REAL  

Parks would say... WORLDWIDE Baby! One Step at a time
