Sign in to disble this ad
So I was at a music store and the dude that works there said to me I should check out this album "Donny Hathaway: Live" so I bought it thinking why not.
I got home, listened to it and my ass has not stopped shanking to this thing. The funk and just laid back groove is incredible. So I am wondering if there are any other albums that have a similar feel to that Donny Hathaway album that I should be checking out. I really love the laid back groove feel of the album with the musicians (including Willy Weeks on bass) just jamming out.
I bought Bill Whithers live at Carnegie Hall which is a great album but the feel is just not the same. Any help would be appreciated!

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Apr 2002 Location: West Side SA | | There's one with 13 or 14 tracks and an interview with Donny....same album, but more tracks:
These Songs For You, Live! - Donny Hathaway.
I talked to Willie about that album - he says he was overplaying!  I thought he played perfectly! Oh, well....
Let me know if you need more info, i'm on my way to a gig...

| | | Weird...I checked out some Donny Hathaway 2-nite(& just loaded "Where Is The Love", "Closer I Get To You", "This Christmas", & the live cover of "What's Going On" into the iPod).
Anyway- www.dustygroove.com used to stock In Performance...from the same time frame as the essential Live(w/ Willie Weeks) album. I kicked myself for not picking it up...apparently, it's OOP in the USA. Dusty is stocking something called These Songs For You, Live...they describe it as some combo of Live & In Performance.
***EDIT*** Just re-read Dusty Groove's notes...there are UNreleased tracks on These Songs For You, Live + tunes from the aforementioned Live albums. The backing band consists of Phil Upchurch, Cornell Dupree, Richard Tee, etc with Hathaway on electric piano. Sounds happenin' to me.
BTW, on DG's homepage, I noticed a 'hard-to-find' album by the Fania All-Stars called Latin-Soul-Rock...the Fania All-Stars with Billy Cobham & Jan Hammer in a very '70-esque Santana vibe.
Any of Donny Hathaway's albums are a keeper.
Personally, I sometimes opt for the debut album.
Happy hunting down under...

| | | The Live album(w/ Willie Weeks' solo) was a holy grail item for me; stumbled upon it in a local record store as a German import...maybe 10 years ago?Once I got online, the album was everywhere! DG was selling it for about $11; a year or so ago, they were stocking In Performance for the same price...now it's gone & looks to replaced by These Songs For You, Live.
I did notice Amazon(US) had these albums at IMPORT prices($25). Amazon's UK site had 'em at a better price(if my Pound-to-Dollar conversion is SAT).

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Jun 2003 Location: Seattle, WA | | | I'd suggest checking out some of the albums that Willie Weeks has played on by "soul" artists other than Hathaway. There was an article on Weeks with a long list of artists he's worked with in the Aug issue of Bass Player. Maybe pick out some that strike you as soulful. One that I love, that gets a bit of that Hathaway soul/funk sort of feel is the Ray Charles tribute by John Scofield "That's what I say." From back in the day, you might try some of the Isley Brothers catalogue.
Let me caution that I've never heard anything quite like that Donny Hathaway record though. It's kind of magical.

Try Aretha Franklin's Live at the Filmore West. Apart from singing "Eleanor Rigby" in the first person, it's a great album.
I'd also recommend the Deluxe Edition of Marvin Gaye's What's Goin' On. It's got the full album, the original mix, and most of the album performed live in Washington, DC. Live Jamerson--can't beat it with a stick. 
Good stuff. |

Today I pulled out Live! by Marvin Gaye(from '73 or so)...can't/won't recommend that one.
