Acclaimed indigenous vocalist Emma Donovan and Melbourne rhythm combo The PutBacks come together to bring you Dawn, an LP of hard hitting and heartfelt soul songs telling stories of grief, struggle and redemption. Dawn is a gritty, uniquely Australian record, simultaneously classic and contemporary. The songwriting is in turns optimistic, angry and melancholic, and on occasions bruisingly honest. The music is fluid, live and raw, recorded in one room on eight channels of analog tape and the electric connection between Emma and the band comes through in every beat.

Emma grew up singing church songs with her maternal grandparents on the North coast of New South Wales. Her first secular gigs were singing in The Donovans, a band comprised of her mother and five uncles. With her mother, Emma sang country for years, and in her youth was a fixture at the Tamworth Country Music Festival, but she always yearned for the bluesier tones of her Father’s record collection, full of American artists like Laverne Baker and Etta James and Indigenous Australian artists like No Fixed Address and Archie Roach.

Years later, after touring and recording with many of the mainstays of Indigenous music and developing as a solo artist in her own right, Emma met members of The PutBacks, and finally she found a band with the gritty blues soaked tones she had been looking for. She also found, in PutBacks bassist Mick Meagher, a co-writer and collaborator on the the soul songs she had been waiting a lifetime to write and sing. The results are well worth the wait and hopefully, only mark the beginning of this oh-so-right collaboration.

"I got a little more work for you to do."

That's what the late Reverend Gean West sings—or rather testifies—on the opening track of Goodbye World, the new and deeply emotional album from the triumphantly unlikely gospel funk band the Relatives. The group started working on the record in the summer of 2014, but Gean was able to lay down his signature gravelly vocals on only two songs before he became ill and fell into a coma. He remained unconscious for twelve days, and it was during that time he heard God's voice telling him to get back to work. "Don't let me down, son," the voice commanded.

OK, d'accord
T'es pas un modèle de vertu
Et puis c'est vrai que t'es pas non plus
Un coup en or

D'ailleurs, si on regarde ton corps
Quand tu te mets à poil
Faut bien avoue que tout nu
T'es pas vraiment l'homme idéal

J'ai aussi appris que tu rêvais
D'être Lennon ou McCartney
Qu'est-ce que tu veux, mon vieux ?
T'as fait de mon mieux, ça s'est pas fait

Et puis on m'a dit que la nuit
Tu cherchais à revendre ton âme au Diable
Pour qu'il te rende moins laid
Plus fort, aimable et stable

Pourtant t'es beau, comme une comète
Je t'ai dans la peau, je t'ai dans la tête
Et quand bien même
Y aurait que moi
Tu peux pas t'en aller comme ça

Parce que t'es beau
Comme une planète
Je t'ai dans la peau, je t'ai dans la tête
Je te le répèterai
Tant qu'il faudra
Tu peux pas t'en aller comme ça

Et puis tu feras quoi, cané, dis-moi ?
T'auras l'air fin
Ça sert à quoi, caner, dis-moi ?
Ça sert à rien

Je sais, je sais
Tu fais parfois du mal aux gens
Parce que t'es pas toujours le mec
Le plus loyal
Ni le plus franc

Déjà qu'en temps normal,
T'es un peu pas normal, justement
Mais en plus, quand tu bois
Tu deviens rapidement assez sale
Limite flippant

Ça t'arrive aussi d'être un peu
Libidineux
Quand t'es pas carrément insistant
De faire des trucs pas très élégants
Pour t'excuser le lendemain
Piteusement

Et puis tes coups de sang, tiens
On pourrait en parler aussi
Quand tu sors les crocs
Sans grier gare
Pour un rien
Et contre n'importe qui

Pourtant t'es beau, comme une comète
Je t'ai dans la peau, je t'ai dans la tête
Et quand bien même
Y aurait que moi
Tu peux pas t'en aller comme ça

Parce que t'es beau
Comme une planète
Je t'ai dans la peau, je t'ai dans la tête
Je te le répèterai
Tant qu'il faudra
Tu peux pas t'en aller comme ça

Et puis tu feras quoi, cané, dis-moi ?
T'auras l'air fin
Ça sert à quoi, caner, dis-moi ?
Ça sert à rien

T'as peur de tout
C'est à peine croyable
Tu bloques sur un nombre de choses
Absolument incalculable

Ça dure depuis tellement longtemps
Je sais pas comment tu fais
Pour dérouiller autant
Même si je crois quand même
Qu'à la longue, ça t'a un peu abîmé
En dedans

D'ailleurs on t'entend parfois dire
Des choses étranges
Des trucs pas nets
De parler à l'envers Et de raconter des histoires
Sans queue ni tête

T'es devenu bizarre
Imprévisible
Déconcertant
Branque
Cryptique
Certains disent même
Qu'ils t'ont vu à ta fenêtre le soir
Parler aux satellites

Pourtant t'es beau, comme une comète
Je t'ai dans la peau, je t'ai dans la tête
Et quand bien même
Y aurait que moi
Tu peux pas t'en aller comme ça

Parce que t'es beau
Comme une planète
Je t'ai dans la peau, je t'ai dans la tête
Je te le répèterai
Tant qu'il faudra
Tu peux pas t'en aller comme ça

Et puis tu feras quoi, cané, dis-moi ?
T'auras l'air fin
Ça sert à quoi, caner, dis-moi ?
Ça sert à rien.

How Does Your Garden Grow

PHILLIP BALLOU
Pittsburgh-born Phillip Ballou’s earliest years were spent in the gospel field; after he moved to New York City in the ‘70s, he teamed up with Bennie Diggs and Arthur Freeman, founding members of The New York Community Choir and singer Arnold McCuller to form the group Revelation.  The quartet recorded for RSO Records, scoring some R&B success in the US with tracks like “Get Ready For This” and “You To Me Are Everything,” touring the Bee Gees among others.  Phillip also sang on albums by NYCC recorded for RCA Records and continued with Revelation until 1982.
Frequently hired for sessions in and around New York, Phillip teamed up with UK soul music journalist David Nathan (who he’d met in 1974 during Nathan’s first US visit) and John Simmons, formerly a member of The Reflections, another New York vocal group to write a series of songs for his own proposed solo record deal.  Although a contract did not materialize, one of the songs – “Ain’t Nothing Like The Love” – got some interest from famed Philadelphia producer Thom Bell who presented it to The O’Jays.  Ultimately, the tune was turned down by Kenny Gamble and John Simmons, by then musical director for Stephanie Mills, recorded his own version for a small independent label in 1981.
Phillip continued his own musical journey, touring and recording with James Taylor and Todd Rundgren. In addition, Phillip’s name graced recordings by George Benson, Billy Ocean, Kashif, Nona Hendryx, Jonathan Butler, Teddy Pendergrass and Melba Moore; in 1981, he began recording with Luther Vandross and became a part of Luther’s touring band for many years, as well as singing on productions by Luther on Aretha Franklin, Dionne Warwick and others, continuing his association with him until Luther’s 2003 stroke.  Phillip returned to his gospel roots in 2004 as Minister of Music at a Brooklyn church and passed away in March 2005, aged 55. 
Thanks to renewed interest in the John Simmons’ 1981 recording on YouTube, David Nathan has uncovered several tracks from the 1978 and 1979 he did with Phillip and John including Phillip Ballou’s original version of “Ain’t Nothing Like The Love,” gaining its first ever worldwide release as a 7” single on Nefer Records in association with Super Disco Edits
