I'm just now catching the Kylie Auldist and The Bamboos train. The Bamboos are a funk and soul band from Australia. They formed in 2000 and have released 6 studio albums with critical appraise. It was on their second album "Rawville" that first featured Kylie Auldist with a stylistic change to start including vocals on their tracks. If you haven't heard of them, I strongly encourage a thorough listening on Itunes or youtube. I have a special soft-spot for their 3rd album, "Just Say The Bamboos present Kylie Auldist" It makes me feel like I've been transported back to the days where shag carpets and record players were all the rage. Like I could be driving down 110th St. in a big black Mercedes convertible Jackie Brown style. "No Use" especially conveys this feeling as you envision yourself as a bad-ass. Other tracks of note are "Still Into You", "Make Me Want More", and "Never Did I Stop Loving You" So make some good food, set aside a good movie, put on this record and call your friends over. You'll all feel like you've just spent the best years of your lives together, and then you'll know the sweet goodness that is Kylie Auldist.

Kylie Auldist has one of those voices that can heal. It is so full of richness, soulfulness, and just enough of that sexy tinge of 1970's divas as you have referred to in the original post.
ReplyDeleteI personally prefer the album "Made of Stone." The bass and hooks take me back to the 1990's of early Erykah Badu and Lenny Kravitz with just a little more funk.
