Had to post this great find of unreleased recordings from Archie Whitewater, he's one of those artists who has some great music, but not nearly as much material out there as I wish. The one album he released on Cadet Records left me thirsty for more of the original sound presented: mellow rhodes and horn arrangements, great singing with jazz and psychedelic influences. I discovered this album from Common's sampling of the song "Cross Country" on Chapter 13 from Resurrection, and Large Professor's sampling it for an interlude on Akinyele's 1992 solo album.



I feel this unreleased album is like an extension of the one he released on Cadet Records, it has all the same great elements of sound and song writing, but with a slightly darker mood, not as joyful or uplifting but still very emotionally driven in it's content. I can kind of see why he left these songs off the released album, due to the change of mood when I compare the two albums. Enjoy this one:



01 - Lighthouse Track
02 - Please Think It Over
03 - The Day You Leave
04 - The Day You Leave (Instrumental Take 1)
05 - The Day You Leave (Instrumental Take 2)
06 - Your The One
07 - Your The One (Exteneded Version)
08 - Instrumental Track 1
09 - Coming As I Come From Where Ive Been
10 - Interlude
11 - Get Back Home
12 - Get My Soul Together
13 - Instrumental Track 2
