After two 7” teasers already this year, The Diamond Street Players drop their debut self-titled LP this (month). The album brings you 10 delicious mid-and-uptempo grooves chock full of gritty and soulful Hammond organ instrumentals, backed up by the perennially hard-and-funky DSP rhythm section . Two vocal tracks round out the set, with Amanda Joy making her hypnotic vocal debut on Million Miles, and the powerhouse Adryon de Leon (Orgone and Matdor! Soul Sounds) bringing the OH, SO HEAVY How Many Lies, How Many Times to LP glory.
This studio band, led by organist & producer, Spencer Garn was recorded and mixed at Gemco’s Diamond Street Studios in Atlanta, GA. If you thought the days of studio house bands (Stax, Motown, Muscle Shoals) were gone forever, then hop in and take a ride down Diamond Street with these players!
The first two singles, Million Miles (feat. Amanda Joy), and the timeless and timely dance-floor burner How Many Lies, How Many Times, were written and produced in conjunction with Leo Black (The Dynamites), and are on this full LP including Spencer Garn's blistering B-sides from those 45s, Organ Workout and Murky Retrograde.
Bada Dum Dum, the Players’ own sing-along party anthem, needs no language-specific lyric for any super soul dance party to join in.
You get some old school New Orleans vibes on Clean Slate & Suzy's Boogaloo, and some Gemco-pedigree deep funk/soul instrumentals on Grease Gun, & Split the Difference.
No dull moments on this LP, folks. Jump in that car on the cover and take that funky ride on wax.
