Naomi Shelton is no ordinary gospel singer. Though she, like many others, grew up singing with her sisters in their Alabama church, she has also spent much of her life in the soul clubs around New York, and her 45s, “41st St. Breakdown” and “Wind Your Clock” b/w “Talking ‘Bout a Good Thing,” have long been revered and prized by funk DJs around the globe. Now, with her first official full-length release coming this May, it’s clear that her singing is equally influenced by both facets of her life. This is soul music – informed by the church, perhaps, but soul music nonetheless, relatable to all. Which means that What Have You Done, My Brother?, an uplifting record that conveys Naomi’s energy, her excitement, her love of music, her compassion, is no ordinary album.
The MSB challenges the Budos Band to a duel with "The Wolf", the fast-paced ethio tinged number that has recently served as the opening song of their on-stage appearances.

Ernest Johnson Jr. and Eddie (Edgar) William Campbell were eager to make it in music. They managed to record and release a handful of singles across varied imprints spread throughout the United States, from South Carolina to Chicago, from New York to Phoenix. One of the pairs singles, “Time Waits for No One”, hit 1 on New York’s WWRL, which subsequently landed them on the bill at the Apollo, appearing alongside soul heavyweight’s gene Chandler, Wilson Pickett and the Temptations. Through ups and downs, none of their pair’s recordings ever served to catapult them to greater fame and sadly in the early ‘70s, Eddie’s premature death would close the door on their partnership.
"Bullets Don't Have Eyes" with alternate B-side "You Make my Life a Sunny Day" also available exclusively on our website only. Limited copies so get yours now!! CLICK HERE
