Odonis Odonis - Odonis Odonis [COMPACT DISCS] date 11/14/2025

Pure vocal energy, sung without an instrumental backup, and yet achieving a full spectrum of sound with the feel of rhythm in complete harmony - of course, the voices belong to Jerry, Toubo, Jesse, Jimmy and Jay Otis, the original harmonizing Persuasions. A little different than some of their other albums that stem from the gospel touch, this album leans on the rhythm and blues side, but has a versatility of it's own. Entitled InchStardust,Inch this album will be considered strongly to contain the best work of the early Persuasions. They began singing a long time ago, singing songs and styles a long time before they happened. The Persuasions bring the real true sound of the street, spoken by the only true instrument, the human voice. This rare classic, originally released in the early 1970s, is presented here newly remastered for this exclusive . .

And so, Thomas seized upon his memories, creating what he calls Inchan album about love and nature and youth.Inch The result is Smalltown Stardust, a spiritual, tender and ultimately joyous record that might come as a shock to those with only a passing knowledge of the artist's back catalog. On Smalltown Stardust, Thomas takes us on his journey to a place where past and present collide, where he can be a dreamer in love with all that he sees. References to his Brattleboro upbringing abound, but at the core of Smalltown Stardust is Thomas's desire to commune with nature on a spiritual level. Images of the natural world, from blizzards to green mountains to cloudy days, fill the songs. InchI consider nature to be my religion,Inch he explains, and Smalltown Stardust is nothing if not a spiritual exploration. While so much of Smalltown Stardust invokes idealized traces and places of Thomas's past, the album's recording process made hi
