This is the 3rd pressing of the standard black vinyl.

This next chapter of Timmion's talent scouting in the US will land home with the Purple Heart of Soul, and turn even the coldest of us to the love side. No prisoners taken. It's time for @jonnybenavidez to lay his falsetto over the ever smooth backing of Cold Diamond & Mink. With the sweet as candy mid-pacer "Tell Me That You Love Me" he should go the whole mile.

Those, who have an insatiable thirst for crossover soul sounds by groups such as The Commands and TSU Toronadoes, should snatch up this piece of wax without haste. Texas made and California raised, Jonny has polished his teeth for years in doo wop groups and sung backing harmonies for big names such as Archie Bell and Eugene Pitt from The Jive Five. Currently residing in New York City, he's forming and coating even more sweet tracks for Timmion. Stay tuned for more from @jonnybenavidez & @colddiamondandmink #jonnybenavidez #colddiamondandmink #timmionrecords

Carlton Jumel Smith is back on Timmion Records, do

Carlton Jumel Smith is back on Timmion Records, doing what he does best: grooving, testifying and romancing his way into your heart. His last album for the label 1634 Lexington Ave. left many contemporary soul fans in awe – some in tears of joy – and they will be pleased to know that he has something new cooking in 2022.

Carlton and Cold Diamond & Mink bring out a new trilogy of tracks that will be first available as a digital EP and soon after on three separate vinyl records flipped with instrumental versions.

"Devoted To You" packs everything you could want from a mid-tempo jam. A steady tambourine beat rides a mellow groove, leaving Carlton all the pockets he needs to fill with his ever-funky but delicate delivery. "Heaven In My Arms” is a melodic beat ballad of the highest order, which should sweep fans of lowrider soul off their wheels, while "Loveliness Of You” has sunday soul written all over it.

Get down with these fresh soulful tracks from Carlton and Cold Diamond & Mink. They will keep you warm and cozy through any kind of weather!

Available on all digital platforms, pre-order for vinyl from our Bandcamp site. Link in the bio!
Catch Carlton LIVE on his European Tour starting on April 16!

Jeb Loy Nichols “World Loves a Fool B/w Not Ther

Jeb Loy Nichols “World Loves a Fool B/w Not There Yet” pre-sale Timmion Records Band Camp Store(Link in Bio). For the last single release from Jeb Loy Nichols' album, Timmion takes us back to the beginning. Of the recent "Jeb Loy" album that is, since its first track graces the single's A side. If you've not yet hopped onboard with this talented American-born but Welsh-based songwriter/singer, this is a great place to start. The spoken word intro, following on the coattails of Cold Diamond & Mink's guitar licks and horn transition in "World Loves A Fool", is a classic storytelling move. Through his mother's interesting proverb, Jeb sets the scene for what's to follow, a lesson for the listener about life's complexities.

On the B side, we find one of the most beautiful tunes of the album, "Not There Yet". It's a gentle southern-style soul groover where Jeb lets his writing truly shine. Backed with a shimmering organ and CD&M's pulsating rhythm, Jeb recants the experiences of a musician on the road through the eyes of a crow.

Jeb Loy Nichols can crank out songs that touch and make things move inside the listener. If you're looking for that personal hit that will fly far over the heads of the masses, you've come to the right place. Double-sided pleasure for your ears, mind and soul. @jebloynichols #timmionrecords @colddiamondandmink #colddiamondandmink #jebloy #countrygotsoul

Tune in to• @soundsvisualmedia For new episode with legendary soul singer Willie West!

Soul singer Millard Leon “Willie” West was born in Raceland, LA, near the city where his music career got off the ground, New Orleans. West, while never widely known outside soul aficionado circles, did produce a string of classic 45s on numerous labels in the 60’s & early 70’s including Rustone, Deesu, Chess, Josie, Warner Bros and Frisco. He recorded with seminal NOLA figures like Allen Toussaint and was backed by The Meters on some of his singles. One of those 45’s, 1970’s “Fairchild,” features a swampy bayou funk groove and smooth-as-silk vocals from West. It remains his most well-known track (original pressings of the 45 often fetch upwards of $500) and is revered as a classic soul single.

West was also an “unofficial” touring member of the Meters in the late 1970’s until they broke up in 1980. A regular performer at the tourist packed bars on Bourbon Street for 20 years, West did not get a full album length recording out until 1999 when his debut CD, "From West With Love," was released.

Following hurricane Katrina, Willie moved to the Minneapolis/Saint Cloud area and has been there ever since. In 2009, Willie began recording music for the Finnish label #timmionrecords, releasing several excellent 45’s and full length album #soundsvisualradio #williewest #timmionrecords #allentoussaint #neworleans #soulmusic #funk #themeters #45rpm #josierecords #soulsinger #classicsoul #chessrecords #podcast

We’re thrilled to make this one available for you! It's a limited edition golden vinyl of the classic album "Deep Shadows" by Little Ann.

This album consists of following amazing tracks, performed by Ann Bridgeforth aka Little Ann with equally amazing Dave Hamilton Orchestra.

A1: Deep Shadows
A2: Possession
A3: Who Are You Trying To Fool
A4: Sweep It Out In The Shed

B1: What Should I Do
B2: Lean Lanky Daddy
B3: I Got To Have You
B4: The Smile On Your Face
B5: Who Are You Trying To Fool (Instrumental Version)

This album is compiled here at Timmion Records in 2009, from the material previously unreleased back then. We felt that this material deserved to be released as an album. The chance it never got back when it was recorded. After more than a decade from its original release date, we decided to give this one a gold record. A well deserved one!

Time to introduce this beauty of an album: “From Us To You… With Love”, instrumentals of the “Jeb Loy” album released earlier this month.

Void of Jeb’s raspy vocals, an air of serenity emerges from the tracks. The crow has flown away into the grey clouds leaving the misty airwaves for the drums and bass, guitars, organ and horns, the familiar tools of Cold Diamond & Mink. And these fellows know how to build an ambience, just have a listen to the instrumental version of “Living It Up”.

Available in black and neon orange vinyl. Link for pre-ordering in the bio. Available digitally on July 2nd.
