It’s time for episode 98 of Love That Album. Soul music can be raw or it can be smooth. It can convey emotions of the heart or it can be about confronting social injustice. Above all, soul music is about the groove and making you feel honest emotion….. On this month’s episode I am honoured to be joined again by film and music enthusiast Will Smith, co-host of the magnificent Gentlemen’s Guide to Midnite Cinema podcast (bringing class to the trash since 1977). Will is a huge devotee of soul music...

The bands on these comps are raw, in your face and filled with energy and attitude. Maybe they’re albums for our times. You can download the show by searching for Love That Album in the iTunes s...
