SoulTrackin’ 11/06/06…
Huh?! What’s this? Another edition of SoulTrackin’? Yeah, yeah, I know… I have deviated a bit from the originally stated goal of this site which is to be a reference source of where the sites are that are following soul music on the ‘Net. However, I have not abandoned that purpose at all. Since this site is still very much a “work-in-progress”, let’s just say I’ve been slightly distracted by experimenting with some other “features”. Yeah, that sounds good, I’ll have to make sure I remember that excuse, er, explanation when I write my autobiography. {smile}
Anyway, here at NetInfoWeb we actually are about “Trackin’ the Sites, Trackin’ the SOUL!”, so, in the words of one of my favorite Staple Singers songs, If You’re Ready, (Come Go With Me), as we go soulwalking to some interesting “SoulSites”…
R&B_QuietStorm (http://my-quietstorm.blogspot.com)
Here’s a site that’s new to me. Hosted by QS_BIRD, this lady is a big fan of the ‘quietstorm’ side of silky soul music and sensuous smooth jazz, and it shows. In need of a mellow mix to help you wind down from your hectic day, or something to “make the mood just right”? You can find it here at QS_BIRD’s R&B QuietStorm. Here are a few samples of the mixes you can find here:
Get On Down With The Stepfather Of Soul (http://stepfatherofsoul.blogspot.com/)
Happy Blogversary to Jason Stone and the GODWTSOS blog! Last Thursday, November 2, 2006, marked the one-year anniversary of Jason’s marvelous website. You go, boy! Keep on laying down that good ol’ soul music! To celebrate the occasion, he’s put together an “Anniversary Special” podcast featuring many of the tunes that have appeared on the blog in the past year.
SoulYankee (http://soulyankee.wordpress.com)
One of my favorite “SoulSites”, SoulYankee has just created a SoulYankee page over on MySpace (http://www.myspace.com/soulyankee). Also, while confessing her NPR addiction, SY gives us her take on Alice Smith and her debut album, For Lovers, Dreamers, and Me.

All That Jazz: In Celebration of Jazz Appreciation Month
I don’t talk about my love for jazz enough on this blog so I figure jazz appreciation month is the perfect time to do so. I have to admit that my knowledge is lacking. Mama Vivrant Thang was never really into jazz so it wasn’t played much around the house. She did love Kenny G though and [...]
The “Boys” Are Back In Town…
Remember the Four Brothers Beats blog? Well, the boys are back! BUT... not quite in the way you may have been expecting. It's, how shall we say, "the same, but different!"

Fusion: Where Music, Technology, and Artist Creativity Intersect
Hello readers and listeners. I trust all is well today. This post is a follow-up to the previous post about the subject of an upcoming podcast I hope to resurrect entitled Fusion. The concept of this podcast came to me via an off the cuff discussion I had a few years ago with a fellow podcaster/recording artist/graphic designer. Both of us, being musicians in our own right, began discussing our backgrounds and influences in making music, which invariably talking about how technology (past and present) played a role taking the music from inner to outer. I began to see the different paths ...
