Listen\/Download – Dynamic Eight – Sardines and Turnip Greens MP3<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

Greetings all.<\/strong><\/p>\n

We continue our week of \u2018dead-enders\u2019 with one of several one-off funky 45s that came out on Atlantic in the late 60s.<\/p>\n

The Dynamic Eight<\/strong> (originally James Stuart and the Dynamic Eight<\/strong>) were a Nashville-based blues\/soul band that recorded for the J&J label, and had this 45 (with the flipside \u2018Sweet Woman\u2019 misspelled as \u2018Street Woman\u2019) picked up for national distribution by Atlantic in 1969.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s not hard to see why, since \u2018Sardines and Turnip Greens\u2019 is a thumping slice of harmonica-led funk.<\/p>\n

Pushed along by a fat-assed bass, horns and the wailing harp (Stuart?), and sporting the kind of title guaranteed to lure in any self-respecting crate digger, \u2018Sardines and Turnip Greens\u2019is the kind of record that probably rocked a grip of inner city jukeboxes, but as far as I can tell never bothered the charts (R&B or Pop) in the least.<\/p>\n

The flipside of the 45, \u2018Street (Sweet) Woman\u2019 is funky blues (as opposed to the bluesy funk on the A side) with a raspy vocal.<\/p>\n

The group recorded a second 45 for J&J which was not issued anywhere else.<\/p>\n

I hope you dig the tune, and I\u2019ll see you all on Friday.<\/p>\n

Keep the faith<\/strong><\/p>\n
