You know the scene in the High Fidelity movie with the Beta Band EP? This Darondo album was like that for me. I was in Rotate This (Toronto) when it was put on and me and the other music nerds had goosebumps, everybody asking if this was some long lost Al Green or something! I left with a copy and have been a fan since. Funny as hell, if you were there. He has another more recent release that expands on those old recordings, about twice as many tracks with some duplicated. Just as great :)
@juepucta That is such a great story! I heard this on a community radio station while driving the other day. Finally, a serendipitous Shazam experience! I will definitely check out the recent release. Thanks! :)
