Crucial Isley Brothers

Don's selections cross time, space and genre, and include Crucial Vinyl from the Isley Brothers.

The Don's selections cross time, space and genre - mixing his favourite new music with classics from the UK, Europe, USA, Jamaica, Africa, Japan and way beyond.

Each week he also highlights a piece of Crucial Vinyl - a cherished album from his own collection. This time it's 3+3 released by the Isley Brothers in 1973.

Don says, 'Between 1959 and 2006, the Isley brothers released around thirty albums, and this, their eleventh release, was the first time that the line-up featured six family members, as opposed to the classic trio - hence the title. The result: a gorgeous blend of harmonies, complimented by some pretty slick guitar work and seriously satisfying grooves.
