Guides

2-tone ska by Rick Anderson

Harold Heath on southern soul. Although the Bettye Swann album he recommends in there isn’t on streaming, this one is and it has all the same songs plus more, Swann is the best so don’t miss it

Carla Bozulich, she of Ethyl Meatplow, the Geraldine Fibbers, and much else, by Ned Raggett

Nate Patrin on the men behind the boards for the ’70s fusion era of Donald Byrd, Bobbie Humphrey, and Johnny Hammond, as well as “Boogie Oogie Oogie,” the Mizell Brothers

Features

A feature that might be non-obvious (and lots of them are! I’m not much of a UI designer) is that the set of recommendations attached to all the guides are just a normal filter set, so if you click one of the covers, you can flip through them. You can also save them to your account (if you have one) by clicking the ‘save this filter set’ button, makes them easy to go back to.
