Tracks of the Week: Street
Bobby Womack "Across 110th Street" - Little-known crime drama from 1972, "Across 110th Street" finds Anthony Quinn as an aging cop butting heads with a young recruit trying to catch crooks who are...blah blah blah. Actually not a bad movie at all, but the film's also a nice vehicle for Womack's soundtrack. If you're a fan of Isaac Hayes ("Shaft") and Curtis Mayfield ("Superfly"), then you'll love this track. Buy It.
Amon Tobin "Stoney Street" - Pulled from Amon Tobin's debut album Bricolage, "Stoney Street" starts off the album nicely. It has a great little groove between trumpet and violins throughout. Although I wasn't terribly impressed with his live show (basically he DJed his stuff without much creativity), his recorded output is wonderful and I'd suggest starting here if you want more from this Brazilian DJ. Buy It.
