Isley Brothers Pick 2

To me it is hard to understand how anyone could not love the Isley Brothers. This volume two of my Isley's Pick has such great material. I am always surprised when people do not know that Jimi Hendrix played with the Isley's. He actually lived with them for a short time. Either way I can hear his influence on a lot of their music. We used to have guitar discussions (arguments) in our house. Friends who did not know anything but one genre of music would argue how great the guitars were in this band or another, but only know the one genre and get competely surprised that a soul funk band had as good as or better guitar parts as the genre they knew. We'd do comparisons from the albums. And then we'd go see the bands live. The Isley's had great guitar (along with great love ballads). Same with bands like Funkadelic and even Earth, Wind & Fire.

Isley Brothers Pick 1

I guess that this pick is more of a greatest hits than anything else. There are Isley Brothers best of's available, but I didn't like them. There always was something missing (to me). So I made this two volume set of my pick of the best Isley Brothers. It may not include all of everyone else's best picks, but it does include mine. I made this some time ago, but was reminded of it because of the Guns connection yesterday. One of my favorite Isley Brothers is the combo of Livin' In The Life/Go For Your Guns. To me they must be connected always. They have so many songs with Part 1 and Part 2 and those two songs should be a two parter. They go together on the album, and in my mind. Not the highest charting Isley Brothers song, but one of my very favorites. Great to dance to.
