Songs of Love and Heartbreak

A little late for V-day I guess, if you're into that kind of thing...here's a bunch of soul records I recorded on my day off this Friday past (a great way to spend a vacation day, imho).

I wanted some tunes with lots of harmonies and stuff to listen to for walking around that afternoon so I plugged in my trusty minidisc recorder and this is what got played. I think it turned out pretty okay so I'm putting it up here to share. Hope ya dig.
