Randy & Earl’s Sunday Mornin’ Mix
the kind of set you’ll get from Randy & Earl in the Pussy Parlure some mornings at the festivals this summer..
Randy & Earl’s Old Record Club is Jared and Lee (Comrades Ouchmonkey and Dubversion) and grew out of a series of well-received festival slots over the last couple of summers.
In the lavish surroundings of the Pussy Parlure, Randy and Earl - under the guise of ‘Lovely Mornings’ - found a niche playing to the comedown kids, the hungover, the bedraggled and the confused. A soothing mix of gospel, soul, jazz, country, r&b, folk and the like helped to ease away the aches and pains of the night before and set people up for another day of drunken excess. But it’s not all mellow gold - when called upon to get a dancefloor moving, the Old Record Club boys can mix it up with the best of them… They may be as old and dusty as their records, but they can still get a Juke Joint jumpin’…
A Randy & Earl slot can either be genre-based - for example, our stints behind the “wonderful record machine” at What’s Cookin’ - or properly eclectic.
We’re loving Elvis Presley, Hank Williams, The Dirty Dozen Brass Band, Aretha Franklin, Robert Mitchum, Etta James, Cab Calloway, Roy Orbison, Leon Redbone, Gram Parsons, O V Wright, Big Bad Voodoo Daddy, Mahalia Jackson, Charlie Feathers, The Staple Singers, The Three Louis’ - Armstrong, Prima &; Jordan, Johnny Cash, Dr John, Dean and Frank, Sugar Pie Desanto, Peggy Lee, The Handsome Family, Sam Cooke, The Edwin Hawkins Singers, Hot Club of Cowtown, George Jones, Patrick & Eugene, Royal Crown Revue, James Carr, Th’Legendary Shack Shakers, Wynonie Harris…
And labels like Stax / Volt, Motown, Sun, Goldwax and Chess
