THE NATURE BOYS - Homey`s For Life - 1993 Seattle, WA - TAPE ONLY - SAMOAN - RAP - R&B - VOCALS

Here is a super rare gem from "The Nature Boys" a Samoan vocal group from Seattle, WA. I don`t have the cassette with me while I write this but I believe they released this TAPE ONLY album in 1993. The cd features a mix of smooth vocals, R&B style, and rap music. The boys have a youtube video, showing them singing "The Ring" at a family member`s 2008 wedding. Pretty cool that they stayed homeys for that long, and like the title of their tape, probably for life!

PRAYERS FOR THE RAVEN - Sacred Ground - 1993 Seattle, WA - GOTH - JARBOE - pFrenz-C

Founded by Brian Castillo, aka pFrenz-C, "Prayers For The Raven" was Seattle`s seminal Goth band. I believe they released "Sacred Ground" in 1996, and re-released it in 2005 complete with different artwork. Brian Castillo continues to make music from Olympia, Washington, while keyboardist and former frontman of "Faith & Disease continues to work with his band "Shadow Light" which he formed in 1993.

TILLIE - Give Me The Night - 1996 Seattle, WA - R&B - TILLIE HAIRSTON SAGER

Here is a great cd from Seattle`s own "Tillie" aka Janelle Hairston (now Janelle Hairston-Sager). It was self released in 1996 by Tillie. The album features production from Kenny "LaMar" McGowan, and beautiful vocals from Tillie, who covers Valerie Taylor`s "Why" as well as The Doobie Brothers "What A Fool Believes" (one 0f my all time favorite songs), while providing 12 tracks of her own written material. I believe the Hairston name caries some weight when it comes to Seattle music. I want to say that a member or members of the Hairston family, was/is a heavyweight in the Seattle rap/hip hop music scene.

A MUST HAVE FOR ANY SEATTLE RAP/R&B FAN!

FAST PLANET - Down The Nile - Feat. SKY SUNLIGHT SAXON - 1994 Seattle, WA - RARE GARAGE / PSYCH

Here is a great garage/psych cd featuring psych rock legend Sky Sunlight Saxon. Though not his greatest work, it does please even the biggest early Sky fan. 10 tracks, though the liner notes say 11, the 11`th track "Dying Butterfly" does not appear on the album. This album includes 2 redone Seeds` tracks, "Mr. Farmer" and "No Escape", both of which were pretty damn good, to my surprise. Anyway, it is a solid effort for a somewhat newer garage release.
