I love this tune. I'm using this for drumming practice. nice little double bass pedal in there. great for doing arm socket farts too if thats your thing..
Come see Joe 9/10/11 at Pt. Fermin Park, San Pedro CA for the 20th Annual Festival of Philippine Arts & Culture. It's a $9 ticket...cheap compared to other venues.
damn - just discovered this guy, love it when someone haps along you didn't know and messes your head up and makes you want to search out the catalogue... :)
Well, with respects, I'm not making contention about who is "more consistantly soulful than what"; A "Soul Man", or "gal" always has had 'cross-over' appeal from the very beginning (fyi: That "beginning" was 130-yrs. ago when whites first noticed that black cobwoys amd plainsmen were singing what was coined in the 20th-Century, A.D. as "Country Blues"). Whites forwith left the droll banter of Steven Foster and barber shop quartets for this 'negro style' that has evolved since.
Hey, after much thought (really, my thoughts are muddy and slow these days,) I realize that Joe's "Call My Name" sounds a lot like Roy Ayers elctronic and zylophone style. Given that this compo was made in 2005, it truly is a "throw-back" to 70s Soul\Fusion Jazz. At this moment Joe Bataan is being interviewed by Felix Hernandez on "the Rhythym Review" radio program(98.7Kiss-FM in NYC) Felix can be heard on Saturdays also on 88.5WBGO-FM between 10am-2pm(EST), and simulcast on wbgo.org.
@DLCOrganization Coming in way late on this disussion, but as far as the whole "retro-soul" thing goes, I'm beginning to grow skeptical. I'm starting to see it as some sort of white revivalist movement (like the ones that spawned Sha Na Na, the Stray Cats, Cherry Poppin' Daddies, etc). The stuff is cool, but it's not advancing the art. Rather, it's a rehash of all that's come before. I'm an ol' skool funkateer and musician, but I know that time doesn't stand still.
jlovely bitch look he was more latino than even me.. was he the king of pinoy music ??????????????? nah he followed latinos.............. fucken losersssssssssssss
Call My Name, Before the setting sun and I'll appear ...and know that I'm the one who will appear. We are gathered here today to remember the departed, have a final say. But don't believe you've seen the last of his face: "I'm only missing, not gone without a trace. The time for me to rise again is near, so..." My lines crossed their streets of gold, that's why they tried to have me buried all those years ago, but my people wouldn't let me die, I keep surviving by the power of their mind."
The King of Latin Soul is coming to Santa Ana, Califas on Sunday, May 30. The Galaxy Concert Theatre is proud to present Joe Bataan with the Raza All Star Band,
Comedian Gilbert Esquivel, and a special tribute to Mr. Bataan by Canela. Tickets are still on sale but going fast at the Galaxy Box office. This is another Drake Entertainment Production.
i love this song soooooooooooo much!!!!!! does anyone know how i can find the mp3???? im trying to look for it!!! or the album for sale!!! plz let me know!!
@JL0vely look u loser no doubt to know his roots. but he wasnt the pinoy king he was the king of soul. why u people trying so hard to tell the world of his roots when he didnt give a fuck about it............ whyyyy???????????????????/// well you losersss have not much going on in the world thats why..................
@1939moreno Throughout history Pinoys who move to the USA are naturally drawn to Blacks and Latinos because they have the most in common compared to others here. Rather than create more seperation between races and cultures, why not embrace a Pinoy for the mere fact he is drawn to you for sharing the same tastes? Music is supposed to bring people together.
@1939moreno@1939moreno why don't you myspace Joe himself and tell him what you just said, see how idiotic your comments are. Heres something from his OWN myspace Bio bitch! hope you know how to read...Born to an African-American mother and Filipino father in 1942, Bataan (given name Peter Nitollano) was raised in Spanish Harlem,
its YOU who make your own people look bad. n WTF have you done?
@runway2007. With all due respect, there is no thing as retro-soul no less than assigning an expiration label to "rock" in all it ranges from maudling standards to brain-splitting cacaphony! There is a certain cultural root than cannot be replicated by corporate initiatives. To make this short, some of the best soul singers today is, of course, ALICIA KEYS and MARY J. BLIGE. Except for artists like R. Kelly's harrassment, the rap\hip-hoppers come up far short. The 'vintage" mode will not work!
Well, Atomank, You ARE right, technically, but think about it. The style of music from Alicia Keys and Mary J. are NOWHERE as consistent to that of people like Joe Bataan. The last time we heard anything of a "Soul" nature from Alicia was 2003 when she recorded "You Don't Know My Name", which was even honored with a Reggae remix. The most Soulful album Mary J. ever made was "My Life" from 1994, which most people still consider their top favorite. (BTW, R. Kelly is NOT a Hip-Hop artist.) > DLC
@runway2007 Do you actually have any idea what a breakbeat is? ie before it became a term for a genre of music, which nowadays generally has nothing to do with actual breakbeats...
It was - I'm the guitarist on the album. It was recorded at Daptone Studios under the auspices of Gabe Roth of Sharon Jones fames. All analog gear, of course!
Stuff like this is why I love being a musician who can actually play REAL instruments. When it's all said and done, it's all about going back to basics. Listening to this makes me wanna go out and CREATE some music of my own as opposed to saying "Yo', we should sample this" or "Yo, we should do this over." This album song came out only a few years ago, but it sounds like a classic. TRUE music never gets old.
Do you not hear the very prominent synthesizer parts in this song? Sequencers aren't always samplers and DJs can provide the very much needed public service of introducing great music, like this, to the masses. Real music is far from dead, but unfortunately so are haters. Check out The Natural Yogurt Band, or The Whitefield Brothers, or Connie Price & The Keystones.
@rockorocko BAD music killed real music. It doesn't matter the medium - it's the artist. Should it matter if a visual artists uses paint, clay, or found pieces? Art is art - it's not just how you do it, but it's also what you do with it that counts in the end.

There's a WHOLE lot of retro-Soul being
made today. Maybe you haven't heard of
Daptone Records or Truth & Soul,
two NYC-based record labels that specialize
in NEW classic Soul and Funk music.
made the way it's supposed to be!
Check it out. Good luck.

Then, it's up to US, the originators of this movement
to MAKE time stand still again. How much further can we advance the art, O-Dawg,
when the road ahead leads to a DESTRUCTION of the art?
Certain things are better left unchanged, like orange juice or good sex.
