I'm getting old

[Bewusst]

I used to hate blues as a teenager, but I absolutely fell in love with soul, R&B and blues recently. I'm not black, but this kind of music is just something else... I'm listening to masterpiece after masterpiece. I've never experienced anything like this in ANY other genre. How could humankind create something so divine and euphoric? I'm having a musical boner rn

You can't deny they were born with insane voices and sense of rhythm... At least some, not the kind that makes mumble rap. Which could be effectively used as a CIA interrogation method imo. Ugh

Me neither, except for Bill Withers. Spotify autoplay is introducing me to hidden treasures of the past. Sip on your favorite whisky while listening to this kind of music for the best experience. I haven't heard a single bad song and I'm usually very picky when it comes to music

Sam Cooke 'Bring it home to me' is an epic song. Especially the rendition at the start of the Ali movie

If you like novels, read the Easy Rawlins series by Walter Mosley. Hard boiled crime, set in the black side of LA in the 50s-60s. A lot of the setting is in these smoky, sexy Jazz bars. It's cool as fuck
