Melvyn Price Rytmer II

Happy Holidays everyone!! Life has been busy for me to say the least. We’ve had some crazy winter weather here in the Pacific NW and I’ve also been spending a tremendous amount of time trying to get a small business off the ground in the midst of this lovely recession. This has unfortunately has left me little time for blogging or even keeping up on the haps on blogland in general. Yada, yada, yada , enough of the personal snoredom and onto the music.

Recently, Wax Poetic’s released Melvyn Price’s 1974 LP Rhythm and Blues on record and CD, which if you haven’t purchased you really should HERE. This is his 1971 release on Meldor, which is comprised of just extended percussion and bass grooves. I believe it was meant to serve as a soundtrack for dancing but it holds up well on it’s own as a simple percussive jam session. It would be a fun album to throw on and jam over the top of with some Rhodes (Simon?) or any instrument of your choice really. Anyways check it out and let me know think.

See you in 2009!

Peace.....................Dr. Fever
