soul power
This week: oooh, we've got a good one this week. Amid widespread discontent over UK public spending cuts and the impending doom of the US midterms, The Roots and John Legend have released Wake Up!, an album of politically-minded soul covers that prove upsettingly relevant to the current climate. So inspired, we'll be playing their stunning version of Bill Withers' "I Can't Write Left-Handed", and further soulful dissent from Billie Holiday, The Temptations, Black Star, Fela Kuti and Marvin Gaye's seminal politi-soul landmark What's Going On, this week's #1 Record.
