› 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.

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!?

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.

Hemphill,Alvin The Jug (pt 1) [ MP3 ] Big C 196? 45 rpm single
The DIY label design is what initially demanded my attention and when I noticed Alvin was a local musician this mysterious disk became even more alluring. The song title hinted that there may be some snoozey, bluesy jazz in store but I had higher hopes. I gave it a spin and listened ecstatically as all my hopes and dreams began to come true. We've got a fine little specimen of griity Texan jazz-funk on our hands, ladies and gentlemen. Thanks to Russell at the MLK porn shop for making this all possible.

Texas Soul Trio Slip Flied Glits [ MP3 ] Soultex 19?? 45 rpm single
Nice, jazzy funk from Texas -- once again on the SoulTex label. And just like a jazz record, they give all the players their deserved recognition by squeezing the funky roster on to the label. Roger Boykin, James Gray, Marchel Ivery, & Wendel Sneed sure do get down on this one.

Lee, Joe Combo Bottom of the Bag [ MP3 ] Papa Joes 197? From the "Diversified" LP
I know nothing about these private pressed one-trackers that serve as masturbation fodder all across the nation of Japan. I just know that when I see them for a quarter in Lone Oak, Texas, I should buy them.

Lightmen Plus One, The Ashie [ MP3 ] Judnell 1972 From the "Fancy Pants" LP
Got this one for a dollar at my homie Don Baker's 25,000 record closeout bonanza. Everyone was there, except for Rerog, who was sleeping it up. He's real good at that! Mainly spiritual jazz numbers on this one.

Sunrise Ltd. Our Love Will Grow [ MP3 ] Pizzazz 1980 From the "Until My Love Returns" LP
So the story goes…For about 3 months I was steadily pursuing a dude who had a warehouse that no one had been in for years. I was amped when we were finally invited to come survey the madness. It was a hot Texas Summer night and the warehouse didn’t have any A/C. Who cares, right? We were allowed to dig for a little over an hour and a half leaving with some nice things, including The Meters – ‘Struttin’. We all overpaid for the records in hopes of securing another appointment. A few weeks went by and we were once again invited to come back to the warehouse. I was pulling crazy things out of these u-haul boxes, which were stacked 3 to 4 high and in multiple rows. It was awfully intimidating having so much to look through with so little time allowed. Inevitably, the time came when we had to leave due to ol’ dude’s high blood pressure and dizziness. This is where the deal went sour…Instead of just naming a price we were asked to make an offer. Apparently, this was some sort of test, I guess, because we were told we would have to come to the shop later that week in order to discuss pricing. This made us all super mad, but we continued to roll with the punches. I was the first to hit him up that week, on Wednesday, and was told that the records we picked out were not for sale and that we would not be welcome back to the warehouse. WHAT??? I won’t go into details…but it was a considerable disappointment to us all and eventually, I gave up hope. Months went by and I started going back to dude’s shop in hopes of salvaging some sort of rapport with the man. I never mentioned the records again so I could at least shop at his store. Well, wouldn’t you know on my third or fourth visit, fate stepped in and I yielded this record that I had found in the warehouse months back. I promptly approached the register and paid $15 and was out… told em’ my name - peace!
