What started as a dandy writing session between singer songwriters Reverend Baron and Andrew Gabbard in Loveland, OH slowly evolved into a label family affair. Produced by Leroi Conroy at Portage Lounge, Gabbard brought the idea to cover Ted Lucas' cult classic "It Is So Nice To Get Stoned." The song sits perfectly between each of the singer's stoney, candid styles. And once the main tracks were done, new label signee Mae Powell added some angelic background harmonies to boot, along with some absolutely tasty pedal steel courtesy of Jonny Lam (Okonski). All in all, a genuine and updated take on a stone cold classic.

Lyrics:
It's so nice
It's so nice
It's so nice
It's so nice
It is so nice to get stoned
And take a load off of my weary mind
It is so nice to get stoned
And never ever come down
It is so nice to lay down
And watch the clouds drifting so lazily
It is so nice to lay down
And never ever come down
It's so nice
It's so nice
It's so nice
It's so nice
It is so nice to get stoned
So nice to get stoned
It is so nice to get stoned
So nice to get stoned
Oh, I wish that I was a breeze
Or a bird with feathers to catch the sun
I would keep all flying so high
And never ever come down

With her fourth full-length album of original material, idiosyncratic singer/songwriter Kendra Morris invites you to join her in the DIY kaleidoscope world of Next. Morris’s latest record for Karma Chief strips away the veneers of layered production and slick sounds to create an album that may be Kendra at her most authentic, one in which the creative process is vibrant, beautiful, and messy, buoyed by heart and the imperfectly perfect now.
A concept album in reverse, Next ties Kendra’s cast of characters to a vintage board game in the spirit of Milton Bradley’s finest retro dice-rolling moments. Travel along Next’s block-to-block journey, and this universe reveals itself. You can hear the sonic palette resonate with Morris’s influences and inspirations. Decades of New York sounds and voices bend and blend at the seams of these tracks—a world where the Brill Building and Warhol’s Factory thrive on the same block while Blondie and the Frightnrs explore rocksteady sounds. Doo-wop and boom-bap soundtrack a UHF network’s worth of cut-and-paste stylings, all the while paced by Morris, an artist equally at home behind the lens as she is in front of a microphone.
Kendra Morris and Karma Chief Records invite you to play along with Next, a sonic journey where the roll of the dice means excitement and adventure. It’s Next, complete with 10 tracks and hours of fun for the whole family. Some assembly required. Turntable, CD/cassette player, or streaming service sold separately.

Order Leroi Conroys debut LP! http://colemine.lnk.to/clmn12038
Perhaps the darkest cut on the album. A repetitive minor riff repeats throughout the opening on piano, guitar, vibraphone, and bass. Eventually the drums fall in driving the dark point home with haunting choral background vocals. A flute melody courtesy of Michael Sarason (Say She She) offers some light in the darkness, but it’s not to last. Sounds like a mashup of early David Axelrod with a slightly more sinister lean a la Budos Band.

The new 45 from Oliver James, out now! https://colemine.lnk.to/clmn239
Tennessees Oliver James, a time-capsule of classic R&B sound, returns to the Colemine label with two new tunes pressed onto one must-have 45.
The A-side features his first new track since 2022. 1-2-3 is an upbeat soul stomper à la Memphis and Stax. Nick DeVan and Vincent John (Eraserhood Sound) co-wrote the track; they finalized the instrumentals but were stumped on the lyrics. Thats when James was called in, and he used his time working at a church to shape the lyrics that eventually became this number.
The B-side was a collaborative effort with Nashvilles gritty-funk ensemble The Gripsweats. Its an earnest song with lyrics inspired by James & DeVans commiseration. Im no stranger to love that I used to know, laments James; his favorite line of the song. Cushioned by lush string and horn arrangements, Nothing Is Forever is a melancholy and heartfelt foil to the A.

The title track from Parlor Greens second studio album is here! Emeralds finds the trio in top form, starting with a slow simmer before falling into an Idris Muhammad-inspired groove and killer top line courtesy of Adam Scone (organ). But the real payoff comes as the tune starts its dramatic conclusion. The slow simmer evolves into a rolling boil as Carman (drums) steadily and expertly brings up the energy while Jimmy James soars on top with a shredding guitar solo.

Stream / Download the track - https://colemine.lnk.to/clmn12074
A jaunty guitar groove opens things up before Did Ya Know? eases into its sleek, sunny pocket, buoyed by a playful organ thats warm and a little mischievous. It calls to mind the smooth sweetness of These Eyes by the Guess Who crossed with a sunshine reggae lilt — cool, unhurried, and completely effortless. The lyrics carry a fluency in early R&B thats become a Sinseers hallmark, and every so often the band pulls off one of those quietly dazzling instrumental turns that reminds you just how deep the well goes.

LYRICS:
Could have wrote about a flower
But that wouldn’t do at all
Could have wrote about a puppet on a string
How silly it is to fall in love
But I’ll take my time and save it all for you
Lovely lady
(Do)
Do you know how much I love, I love, I love the way you are?
(Know how much I love you)
Ooh
(Do)
Did ya know?
(Know how much I care)
Did ya know?
Would’ve called you on the telephone
But I didn’t know if you would be home
Should’ve wrote a lovely letter, but it’s better
When I see you smile
So I’ll take my time
And save it all for you
Lovely lady
(Do)
Do you know you how much I love, I love, I love the way you are
(Know how much I love you)
Ooh
(Do)
Did ya know?
(Know how much I care)
Did ya know?
(This love that I’ve needed)
(Is love that I’m feeling from you)
(This love that I’ve needed)
(Is love that I’m feeling from you)
(This love that I’ve needed)
(Is love that I’m feeling from you)
I love, I love, I love, I love the way you are
(This love that I’ve needed)
(Is love that I’m feeling from you)
Did ya know?
Did ya know?
(This love that I’ve needed)
(Is love that I’m feeling from you)
(This love that I’ve needed)
(Is love that I’m feeling from you)

There is something to be said about being both popular and prolific enough to be anthologized—it’s a space that soul music stalwart Kelly Finnigan and his latest release, B-Sides, Singles & Forgotten Gems, occupies with intent and fire. Serving as a mile marker pacing the fifteen-year collaboration between Finnigan and Colemine Records, B-Sides, Singles & Forgotten Gems is an easter egg moment for new and long-time fans to collect rare takes and flip sides in one spot, while unearthing Finnigan’s evolution as an artist, producer, and vocalist.
From his earliest explorations to one of the first tracks cut at his new studio in Ohio, this travelogue in sound both brings the listener forward to the present while laying out Kelly Finnigan’s road ahead.
“Its nice to reintroduce material that really was the beginning of my relationship with Terry and Colemine,” says Finnigan. “And so, it made perfect sense to look at a B-side by my group called Destruments and a song called ‘Freedom’… Theres so much focus on [the early work of] Monophonics that [Destruments] gets overshadowed and forgotten about, so Im happy to reintroduce it.” With its wide-open experimentation and tight-but-loose feel, “Freedom” plants the flag for psychedelic soul while serving as an early vocal for Finnigan. The power and soulfulness are finding their way to hold court within the mix.
Songs like “Trouble” and “Keep Me In Mind” are unshackled from the 45, given room to move and breathe, extending the groove beyond the physical limits of a single. “Keep Me in Mind” is also a nod to the classic B-side playbook, the cover song. Deep cuts like the Samson & Delilah track, along with “It’s Not That Easy” (Reuben Bell with The Cassenovas) and “It Hurts Me So Much” (Barbara & the Browns) strengthen that connective tissue between inspiration and elevation.
Conversely, the collection’s closing track, “The Hurting Truth,” features another longtime Colemine comrade, Jimmy James (Parlor Greens). This previously unreleased track serves as a fitting close to this collection. “I had just gotten into my new space in Cincinnati,” recalls Finnigan. “The day before Jimmy came, Terry (Cole, Colemine’s label head) had come over and played bass on a different song…so when Jimmy came early, and Terry wasnt here, I was like, ‘Yo, Jimmy, I want you to play on this song Im working on.’ Jimmys always down…and so he played the bass… doing his thing, and then he played the guitar part…and he helped finish the song, and then I finished the words and melodies… it came together fast.”
Ultimately, B-Sides, Singles & Forgotten Gems is a love letter to Finnigan’s relationship with his longtime label, Colemine Records, and their fans. It’s a partnership that started in the label’s early days and continues to be a fruitful collaboration.
“Colemine has grown so much, Ive grown so much… I think [this collection is a chance to] take a little look back and share that with the people, the fans, the music lovers, the Colemine lovers,” says Finnigan.
