Soul Salvation - A Gen X Love Letter To The English Beat: Blockhead
Manage episode 435389541 series 2838627
Welcome back to the Ska Boom podcast! This season is called Soul Salvation and its the companion to my new book “Soul Salvation – A Gen X Love Letter To The English Beat."
Through the book and this podcast I’m telling the story of the Special Beat Service album which embodies both the brilliance and the bittersweet end of the English Beat whose songs served as a soundtrack for thousands of Gen Xers like me.
The book and this podcast is my tribute to the band’s final, triumphant act – which initially was largely overlooked – and how their music and the love of a young woman changed me forever.
This week I’m focusing on the band’s keyboardist David “Blockhead” Wright whose melodic contributions added so much to the songs on Special Beat Service and have been overlooked and under appreciated.
I interviewed Wright for my book and his perspective was invaluable in giving me an insider’s view on the band and the songs on the album. The audio from that interview is part of this episode.
My new book Soul Salvation : A Gen X Love Letter To The English Beat is now available from DiWulf.com and from Amazon globally.
