Introduction

So unlike my comrade at Your Guide To PostPunk, I will give you some background to how this blog and the aforementioned came to be. Over the summer four friends at a small faith affiliated college decided to start an album exchange the next fall. Well word got out and people wanted to hear what Ben over at PostPunk had to say. I just got to come along for the ride. So Ben decided to move to a blog medium in order to be more accessible. Check out PostPunk to see Ben's first post and maybe you'll understand what all the fuss is about. I have no great point to prove, unlike Ben, but I have a deep passion for soul, funk, and R&B. Thus, I'm kicking off a nonlinear look at what I feel to be the greatest and most important albums in the realm of soul. I hope to open minds and ears and maybe dispel some myths (Motown is not the apex of soul, Soul is not just black people music, soul/funk is THE best music to dance to). With that said let's get down to the good stuff. "Can you dig it?"
