AVAILABLE NOW (CD/LP/.mp3) GET IT!
Daptone Records is proud to present The Budos Band III, unleashing The Budos Band’s brazen sound and inspiring fervor among music lovers throughout the world. Produced by Bosco Mann and TNT at Daptone Records’ “House of Soul Studios” in Bushwick, Brooklyn, the band’s third full-length studio effort was conceived during weekly, beer-fueled Staten Island writing sessions – as well as more than 150 live gigs over the last two years – and recorded during a 48 hour period in January 2010.
If the menacing album art, which features a cobra primed for the attack, is any indication of the music itself, we can expect an all out assault of the senses, with a tendency towards the venomous and psychedelic.

AVAILABLE NOW! (CD/LP/.mp3) GET IT!
Produced by Bosco Mann and recorded on an Ampex eight-track tape machine by Gabriel Roth in Daptone Records’ House of Soul studios, this record drips with a warmth and spontaneity rarely found since the golden days of Muscle Shoals and Stax. Sharon’s raw power, rhythmic swagger, moaning soulfulness, and melodic command set her firmly alongside Tina Turner, James Brown, Mavis Staples, and Aretha as a fixture in the canon of soul music. From the lushPhilly-Soul fanfare that ushers in “The Game Gets Old” at the top of the record, to the stripped down Sam Cooke-style“Mama Don’t Like My Man” at the tail, the Dap-Kings dance seamlessly through both the most crafted and simple arrangements with subtlety and discipline. I Learned the Hard Way is the “Daptone Sound” at its finest.

Pax Nicholas and The Nettey Family
“Na Teef Know De Road of Teef" CD/LP
Nicholas Addo-Nettey became a full member of Fela´s legendary band Africa 70 as a conga player and background singer in 1971. The first record he appeared on was Lady Shakara – an international smash hit and one of Fela´s greatest. In the 70s, stars like James Brown, B.B. King, Ginger Baker, Stevie Wonder and Manu Dibango came to Lagos to visit Fela’s Shrine club to hear this new and incredibly heavy thing called Afrobeat. While playing and recording for Felas ´s Africa 70 (he appeared on Fela’s releases between 1971 and 1978), Mr. Addo-Nettey always had his own thing going on the side. He released two solo LPs for the Tabansi Label with the Martin Brothers Band from Portharcort, Nigeria, one of them being “Na Teef Know The Road of Teef” in 1973. A heavy afro-funk record, that was recorded with Africa 70 musicians and singers in Ginger Baker´s highly equipped Lagos studio, where many of Fela´s albums were recorded as well. Fela was not amused at all about these kinds of things, even less when he heard how strong the “Na Teef…” album was. He reportedly said: “Don’t you ever, EVER play it again!” And so it was. Despite being a killer record, “Na Teef…” remained undercover for more than 30 years. READ MORE...

The Voices of Panola Co., Mississippi
Como Now
Recorded Live at Mt. Mariah Church, July 22nd, 2006
Deep in the heart of Panola County, Mississippi lies Como, a small rural town where children and grown folks alike have been living and breathing gospel for as long as they can remember. In the summer of 2006, Daptone Records placed a small ad in local papers and on the radio inviting singers to come down to Mt. Mariah Church to record their songs. The result is COMO NOW, a stirring collection of traditional and original a cappella gospel from the voices of Panola County’s own families. MORE...

Willie Mitchell 1928-2010
On Tuesday morning, January 5th, producer, musician, arranger Willie Mitchell died of a heart attack. He was 81 years old. For everybody here at Daptone, myself in particular, Willie Mitchell is a legend and an inspiration in our daily work.
Born in Ashland, Mississippi, Mitchell began playing trumpet at age eight and later studied music at Rust College in Holly Springs. After a stint in the army, he moved to Memphis in 1954 where he found employment as a bandleader for the Manhattan Club and a producer for the Home of Blues label. In 1961 he joined Hi Records as a producer and artist, and throughout the sixties released a number of R&B instrumentals in his own name alongside countless records he arranged and produced for other artists.
In 1970, Mitchell stopped touring as a bandleader and took the reins of Hi Records as executive vice-president. He met and signed Al Green in 1971, and began an era of prolific hit-making. He put together a historic rhythm section by matching the Hodges brothers (Charles on organ, Teenie on guitar, and Leroy on bass) with drummers Howard Grimes and Al Jackson Jr. (when the latter was not busy cutting sides with the MG’s down the way at Stax.) As a songwriter, arranger, producer, and engineer, it was Mitchell who truly crafted the “Hi Sound” in his humble little studio at 1320 South Lauderdale. When you listen to great Hi recordings – not only Al Green, but Ann Peebles, OV Wright, Otis Clay, Syl Johnson – the distinct sound of Mitchell’s productions is unmistakable: sweet and warm, tough and dry, beautifully simple, and divinely soulful.
In 2007, friend and journalist Matt Rogers accompanied fellow Daptone producer Michael Reilly and myself on a trip down to Como, Mississippi to record some local gospel. On the way down, we made a brief detour in Memphis to drop in on what was by then renamed 1320 Willie Mitchell Boulevard. Not only did we find Royal Studios up and running in a state nearly unchanged since it’s early-seventies heyday, but we were fortunate enough to meet Willie Mitchell there, still making records, albeit with a little support from his godson Boo and his cane. With his thin moustache, his wiry hair, his walnut complexion, and his penchant for profanity, he reminded me very much of my own grandfather. His eyes and his smile, however, assured me that he was in fact the genuine article, shining at me mischievously just the way they had from the cover of his Solid Soul album. Though I don’t normally tend to be much of a fanatic, it was all I could do to keep from gushing. Here stood the man who had produced I Can’t Stand the Rain, A Nickel and A Nail, Any Way the Wind Blows, and Let’s Stay Together (the last of which he co-wrote). As I began to bury him in a flurry of mundane questions about how he had mic’ed drums, whether Syl Johnson had influenced Al Green or the other way round, how he had modified his mixing console, what had inspired his horn charts and what mic he used on them, he interrupted me. He looked me in the eyes and told me, “The only thing you need to make a record are these… and this.” He pointed to his ears and to his heart. With that one sentence he taught me more about making records than I could have learned from any engineering or arranging school in the world. To this day, whenever I find myself frustrated or thwarted by the challenges I meet at the mixing board or at the piano, I remember his words, and though I can’t always find the answers, I always know where to look.
When someone dies, people always say, “He’ll live on in our hearts”. Willie Mitchell, however, will live on not only in our hearts, but also in our ears, because we plan to listen to his records for a long, long, long time. Rest in Peace Papa Willie.
-Gabriel Roth, aka Bosco Mann
I encourage anyone not familiar with Willie Mitchell’s music to use the Internet and explore the wonderful and enormous catalog of music he recorded and produced. To start with, a handful of my personal favorites:
Willie Mitchell –
“20-75” from the album Hold It
“Groovin’” from the album Solid Soul
“Ooh Baby, You Turn Me On” from the album Soul Serenade
“Take Five” (which he plays IN 4/4 TIME!) from the album On Top
Syl Johnson – “Any Way The Wind Blows”
Ann Peebles – “I Feel Like Breaking Up Somebody’s Home”
Al Green – “You Ought To Be With Me”
O.V. Wright – “The Ace of Spades”
Here are some photos from our trip:

Sometime in the early 1960s Hank Mullen’s friend and fellow Buffalonian Carl LaRue, an organ player, traveled with his group (Carl LaRue and His Crew) all the way to Phoenix, Arizona, where he’d secured a steady gig as the house band at the local Zanzibar club. Soon after starting the job, he would invite a young (16yr & 19yr old) vocal duo to perform some of their original songs in front of his band during shows. Ernest Johnson Jr. and Eddie (Edgar) William Campbell were eager to make it in music and for the next 10 odd years would attempt to do so. They managed to record and release a handful of singles across varied imprints spread throughout the United States, from South Carolina to Chicago, from New York to Phoenix.
