Featured Story

Now on Shelves: “The Same Thing” on CD

By Dave Wilson

It took a long time to get here, and it was worth the wait.

Gene “Poo-Poo Man” Anderson’s The Same Thing came out digitally in September and went straight into heavy rotation on QRTM Radio. Listeners kept asking for it on disc, and on Tuesday, October 27, the CD finally hit the Label Store, the first time this music has ever been pressed.

The record carries the spirit of the Memphis sound, spiked with Gene’s big-box party funk. The title track sets the groove, “Zap Wam Boom” keeps the floor moving, and “Gonna Funk You Up” closes things out exactly the way it promises. The Poo-Poo Man put his magical dance and party touch on every bar.

This is the same St. Louis label that has backed Gene since “Back It Up On Me.” If you’ve been streaming it, now’s the time to put it on the shelf. Copies are limited.

Tracklist

The Same Thing (4:05)
Zap Wam Boom (3:43)
Gonna Funk You Up (4:38)

First Time on Disc: “The Same Thing” Is Out on CD

By Dave Wilson

It went from QRTM Radio’s playlist to your CD player. As of Tuesday, October 27, it’s here.

Some records earn their way onto the shelf. Gene “Poo-Poo Man” Anderson’s The Same Thing came out digitally in September and went straight into heavy rotation on QRTM Radio, leading the station’s “Now In Rotation” playlist. Listeners kept asking for it on disc.

The music has the spirit of the Memphis sound, spiked with Gene’s big-box party funk, and it moves from quiet-storm romance to full-on club heaters. The title track opens the set, “Zap Wam Boom” keeps the floor moving, and “Gonna Funk You Up” does exactly what it says. The Poo-Poo Man added his magical dance and party touch to this mix, and his fans are going to love it.

It’s the latest from the same St. Louis label that has backed Gene’s grooves since “Back It Up On Me.” Pick up the CD, or grab the digital album right now and play it tonight.

Hard Times Never Sounded So Good: Oliver Johnson’s 2005 Blues Album Returns to the Spotlight

By Dave Wilson

Some records don’t age. They just wait for the right Wednesday.

Oliver Johnson’s Hard Times is a 2005 blues album from the Quinn Records TM catalog. This week it’s front and center as the label’s Wednesday Deal. It’s the kind of record the label was built on: honest blues about real life, cut in St. Louis by a musician who has spent decades on bandstands across the city. Oliver Johnson is best known as the man who brought the trumpet to the soul. On Hard Times he goes straight to the blues, and he means every note.

2005 was a big year for Oliver at Quinn Records TM. It also brought Come Thunder Come Lightning, the jazz sides Reminiscence of This Magic Moment and On The Other Side of Midnight, Day Dreaming Again, and the holiday record Christmas Must Be Love. Of all of them, Hard Times is the one to start with.

You don’t just have to take the record’s word for it. Oliver is still working, live every Thursday and Friday night, 9:00 PM to midnight, at The Hide Away, 5900 Arsenal Street, St. Louis. This year he also returned with Nite Train on the new release Two Wrongs Don’t Make A Right. Few artists on the label connect the catalog to the present so directly.

Release Details

Artist: Oliver Johnson • Title: Hard Times (CD, Blues, 2005)

Catalog No.: QR051131-1 • UPC: 614357362133

Price: $15.98 list — 30% off with code WED CODE30 on Wednesdays, 10:00 AM–9:00 PM Central. Free shipping on CD, cassette and vinyl orders of $89.99 and up.

Sixty-Three Years of Service: The Wednesday Deal Turns to Gospel

By Dave Wilson

Some weeks call for the blues. This week calls for the choir.

This week, the Quinn Records TM Wednesday Deal is all gospel. At the center of it is Sixty-Three Years of Service For The Lord by Leroy Crisp & The Original Southern Harmonizers. A title like that doesn’t need much explaining. Released in 2006, it celebrated the group’s sixty-third year as a gospel quartet, and to mark the milestone it includes four never-before-heard tracks. It’s quartet gospel the way it was meant to be sung: harmonies built over a lifetime of Sunday mornings, testimony set to music, and a sound that carries the tradition forward.

The Original Southern Harmonizers are in good company this week. Rev. Anderson Sparks brings Got Something Money Can’t Buy (QR011117-1). Albert Phillips & The Divine Messengers deliver A Message From The Messengers (QR051129-1). The Masonic Quintet of Waukegan, Illinois, whose Songs We’ll Never Forget remains one of the label’s best sellers, returns with Do You Know Him (QR031119-1). Both volumes of the Gospel Millennium Storybook round out the lineup with a cross-section of the label’s gospel roster.

This is the music Quinn Records TM was built to preserve, and it’s still here for anyone who wants to bring it home.
