Black Music Superstars Join Forces Online To Bring Great Music To Fans At Affordable Prices
Mount Holly, NJ (PRWEB) October 24, 2007 -- Internationally known stars from the world of Black music such as Public Enemy, Mandrill, and Chico Hamilton. Fifty year plus industry veterans and Rock n' Roll Hall of Famers such as the Mighty Dells and the Coasters. Rock, Funk & Soul pioneers like Lester Chambers (Chambers Brothers), Joseph Wooten/JD Blair (Wooten Brothers Band), Mike Calhoun (Dazz Band), Waldo Weathers (James Brown's Soul Generals), Scott Free (Original P-Funk & Bo Diddley) and Cliff Perkins (Soul Generation).
Plus a host of independent/emerging artists join forces with Black music/culture portal Soul-Patrol.com (http://www.soul-patrol.com/album). Together these entities have created the world's first all digital Black music compilation album. By bringing together the very best of independently produced Soul, Jazz, Blues, Funk, Rock n' Roll, and Rap; we have done exactly that on the Soul-Patrol Digital/Virtual Album 1.0. A "dream team" of artists have been assembled that in the past would have taken the combined genius of Ahmet Ertegun, Berry Gordy, Al Bell, Gamble/Huff and Russell Simmons sitting at the table together. In today's world, because of digital technology the artists themselves are able to put the "dream team" together and deliver large volumes of high quality Black music directly to music fans at an affordable price ($0.40 cents/track)."
Digital Album Features:
- A great collection of new music (no oldies or covers) that can't be beat for the price, 50 songs at a cost of $20.00 ($0.40 cents/track). The equivalent to a CD box set; if it were a physical album, it would cost over $60.00, all of this for about the same price as a traditional CD of 10-13 songs. It's chaeper than iTunes.
- Distributed online only, delivered to the desktop as high fidelity 192 bps, DRM free mp3 files
- All "independent artists", there are no record labels involved. Assembled completely online (thus the "virtual" part of the title), designed to be a 100 Percent Digitally fashioned album by the artists and the Soul-Patrol.com team and is distributed and sold exclusively through Soul-Patrol.com (http://www.soul-patrol.com/album), this comes in, user friendly mp3 format
- The songs and the album graphics were selected online by the Soul-Patrol.com (http://www.soul-patrol.com/album) community
- Play it on your computer, your iPod, your mp3 capable CD player, or convert files to standard CD format
- A 30+ page book of liner notes containing instructions, biographies of each artist, analysis & commentary (see attached)
- No African-American owned entity has ever created or developed a technological/cultural album launch with this range, this number of artists, and this amount of high quality music
--Rock n' Roll Hall of Famers, the Dells say; "Independent artist and labels, were always the heart and soul of the music industry?"
"Simply because: The labels had to have young creative artist to keep their doors opened. Once these artist reached a certain level of popularity, then the "Big Boys" took over with their massive distribution, although they still couldn't create great music. Now we have to start over, because while the industry was spoon-feeding us all this BS, we've lost song writers, arrangers, musicians and producers. The recording industry is in deep trouble, because they aren't recording anything that you really want to buy?"
--Stax Museum of American Soul CEO Deene Parker says; "This is really a fresh approach to packaging and distributing new music...."
This is a bold move to mix the music made by great legends with songs recorded by some relatively new kids. This is an 'insidious' move to introduce 'old school' fans (like me) to other music genres like RAP in the privacy of our own space. For many people, there's yet another bonus. It's called learning how to navigate expertly through a digital maze. Sigh. Thanks for doing what radio won't and the majors don't.

The listeners are the main and the active participants that play a significant role in pushing the particular type of music in a season. Along with the musical influences the type of clothes and appearances also come into play. Though appearances are totally secondary and only become identified once live performances or the better-known medium of spreading the punk music get recognition in various...
