› EXCAVATION: DALLAS SOUL OBSCURITIES
Updated: October, 10 2009
For nearly 10 years now Rehash Excavation has offered the world a sneak peek into our rampantly expanding record collections and for this update we're taking it back to basics and posting all local Dallas funk and soul 45s... with some gospel snuck in the mix for good measure. And maybe one disc that's arguably from Fort Worth. Hey, nobody's perfect.

4th Generation
Living In A Fantasy [ MP3 ] Briggs 197? 45 rpm single
With the odd arrangement and the dropping of the "N" bomb...the likelihood of me bumpin' this one in the club are slim to none. That's okay, I can always entertain the crowd at APT 6122. Sure glad to finally get my hands on this one. Thanks to Mr. Boyd for the hookup. Much appreciated dude!

Averheart, Booker T.
I Wanta Be President [ MP3 ] SoulTex 196? 45 rpm single
The little intro is misleading but in a matter of seconds come the very reassuring drums. It is then you know you've got a real gem on your hands. The flipside "Gold Medallions" is also very solid and very funky.

Bailey, Billy
You Better Stop [ MP3 ] Bay-Del 19?? 45 rpm single
Out of the three Billy Bailey 7”s that have crossed my path over the course of the last decade or so, “You Better Stop,” easily reigns supreme. The others, having more of a southern gospel feel, pale in comparison to the uptempo funky blues vibe of “Better Stop.” But unlike the featured disc his other releases did happen to reveal Billy’s locale to be none other than the Big D. It’s always a thrill to discover some homegrown funky soul that you never knew even existed.

Bartell, Nathan
Top Going Down Bottom Going Up [ MP3 ] Soul-Po-Tion 197? 45 rpm single
This is a current fave o' mine. Just got it over the weekend in Tyler, TX. This side jams. And so does the flip. I'm a sucker for a slammin 2-sider. Who isn't? Ladies and Gentlemen: THIS is souuuul. Dig in.

Carter, Jimmy and the Senators
Sundown Pusher [ MP3 ] Camaro 196? 45 rpm single
So, for the past few months I have been sticking my toe in the pool of "garage." The things I have been finding are simply amazing. This one was mine the second I heard those drums. DANG! The drummer sounds so "in the cut" yet sloppy at the same time. If you know more titles that sound similar to this, please advise us.

Carter, Wayne
Wahoo Wahoo [ MP3 ] Mootreys 1973 45 rpm single
Did this one finally dry up? Remember when these bastards were all over ebay? What's up with that? Someone finds the motherload and days later they're everywhere! (ie. Al Trahan, US Warren, Jimbo Jackson, BW Souls, etc.) Not that I'm mad or anything. Maybe the next record to to experience a supply swell will be a Third Guitar or an Ernie & the Topnotes. Now wouldn't that be nice!?

Chocolate Glass, The
Soul Climate [ MP3 ] Judnell 197? 45 rpm single
I picked this particular plate up when Funky Kym Fuller, High-C & I traveled five and half hours south of Dallas to Beaumont, TX. Judnell is a local Houston label, but I never thought I would come across anything on it. I guess it was the Shing-A-Ling magic in the air that brought me my good luck. It seems I always find the 'other' 45 no one knows about. I was expecting to see 'Joseph Holly' on this 45, but it wasn't there. This is actually there second record on Judnell. Anybody know about an LP by these cats?

Chocolate Tunnel, The
Ostrich People [ MP3 ] Era 196? 45 rpm single
No, this isn’t a reference to some NSFW entry on urbandictionary.com, it’s just a rock band. And if the Wonka-esque name didn’t already tip you off, surely the music will convince that this group was out to try their hand at late 60s psych rock. Backwards tape loops, check. Dreamy vocals, check. Gnarly fuzz (wait for it), check. Now that’s a recipe for success! Too bad this was the only thing the band ever released.

Choreo Records Band
BC's Rock [ MP3 ] Choreo 197? 45rpm single
Here at rehashmedia.com we’re constantly striving to broaden our horizons and as a result you can bet there’ll be some pretty weird shit in this section. Hell, there’re even a couple early 80’s rock 7”s featured in this update. But, as much as we like exploring new genres and eras, sometimes we’ve just gotta take it back to basics. And if you know us, you’ll know that an educational dance instruction 45 covering Dennis Coffey’s “Scorpio” is going to be right up our alley. Quirky yet Funky; I think that sums this one up. In fact, I’d argue that those adjectives sum up our entire site. And perhaps even us as individuals? Woah. Deeeep.

Circus, The
Away From This World [ MP3 ] Jambee 196? 45 rpm single
You ever find yourself grabbing records with the feeling it'll be something that might grow on you? I mean I dropped it on the player and immediately was fond of the galloping drum rhythm. The vocals were, "eh," but I was determined to give it a proper listen at the Apt. Plus, for $5 I really couldn't go wrong. Sure enough, I got it home and have since had a hard time getting that “sad trumpet” out of my head.

Clark, Erni
By The Grace of God I Am [ MP3 ] M-Odd 197? 45 rpm single
It's been a long time coming with lot of wrong numbers called, wasted money on P.I’s, mad dead-ends and still no Ernie Clark. We couldn't wait any longer for Ernie to respond to our ad in the local newspaper...it went something like this, "Looking for a dude named Ernie Clark that kicks a lot of ass and chews bubblegum and is now out of ass, er-um…ahem Bubblegum and was an old musician that cut a record on his own label and is awesome." Suffice to say this didn't really work all that well. Anyway, now you guys can peep a track we've kept to ourselves for a few years. We really like it and we hope you have the same sentiments about this tune.

Claude & Samuel
Potatoes [ MP3 ] Daran 19?? 45 rpm single
The backing instrumental is crazy raw and all, but on this one it's all about the lyrics. So be sure to listen to every word. And if that potato craving doesn't subside before this song ends go check out the Friday, Saturday & Sunday 45 on this site for more starchy funk.

Crystal Ball, The
Trans-Love Airways (Fat Angel) [ MP3 ] Smash 196? 45 rpm single
Shamefully, I still haven’t heard the original Donovan take, but while I do my homework check out this chunky, hypnotic cover of Mr. Leitch’s tune. The drums pound from the get-go and then there’s that constant feedback tone swelling behind what seems to be some crazy reverberated bongos… really, I’m not sure what all is happening as my mind still needs a little time to get properly acclimated. But let’s not drop the oxygen masks just yet. Just sit back, relax, enjoy the in-flight programming and with any luck you’ll forgive me for all my cheesy aviation references.
