The April 12 edition of The Soul Express featured the entire Buddy Miles Live.
Here’s the archive.
The Soul Express usually airs the first Saturday of the month with Dean Farrell.
The 1971 double album was the first live release from Miles and marked a particularly busy period for the drummer/bandleader who had done time with the Electric Flag and Jimi Hendrix’s Band of Gypsys.
It followed the critically acclaimed Them Changes a year earlier which reached No. 8 on the Billboard jazz chart, No. 14 R&B and No. 35 on the Billboard 200.
Miles’ We Got To Live Together, which also came out in 1970, and Message To The People (1971), didn’t garner as much attention, but were solid efforts and a number of tracks from each was included on the live album.
The live offering was the sixth and final release on Mercury as he moved to Columbia the following year, putting out Carlos Santana & Buddy Miles! Live!
The remainder of The Soul Express included tracks from William Bell, James Brown, Don Covay, Aretha Franklin, Funkadelic, Marvin Gaye & Tammi Terrell, Latimore, the Moments, the Olympics, Freda Payne, Ann Peebles, Wilson Pickett, Otis Redding, the Spinners, the Staple Singers, the Supremes, the Temptations, Johnnie Taylor, Rufus Thomas, Ike & Tina Turner, Jackie Wilson and Stevie Wonder — among others.
