about

Following the critically acclaimed 7” singles by Miles Bonny and Osunlade (YSR001 and YSR002), Yoruba Records is proud to present their next installment of the Yoruba Soul Originals series.

These new fresh slices of timelessness are brought to you by St. Louis native, Jesse Gannon. Gannon’s live act, Jesse Gannon And The Truth have been a staple in the St. Louis soul scene for years. Although its been a while since his last projects on the now-defunct STL-based The Loud Label, Gannon never really stopped creating or recording. After a chance meeting in the River City with Yoruba label boss Osunlade, it became clear that Yoruba Records would be a perfect outlet for some of these new ideas Gannon was cooking up.

Opening things up is “Dr. Spin (Thrust)", where Gannon is looking around him and pointing at our so called leaders. The mid tempo groove starts out with Kwanae Johnson introducing the main theme on his flute, and then Jesse gets going with a feeling we all seem to be sharing at the moment. Who is Dr. Spin and why does Dr. Spin continue to manipulate and distort the truth? Gannon wastes no time in expressing the frustration of our current times, while the band stays locked-in a groove that feels both fresh and deeply rooted. “Dr. Spin” also features the very talented Thelonius Kryptonite alongside Jesse on vocal duties.

On the flip-side, we get a little more introspective. In a world where we place so much emphasis of heading somewhere (or nowhere) fast, Jesse pleads “What’s the rush? Won’t you take your time?” For Jesse, it’s about confronting the gray areas of life. Maybe, just maybe, happiness is not in what you seek outside, but its within. Within you and within reach. Gannon keeps things more intimate here, slowing down the tempo and providing a backdrop of reflection with its rolling bass lines, intricate horn arrangements, and Gannon’s own subtle work on the keys.

Though this single clocks in at less than eight minutes, what you have here is just a small taste of what’s to come. For “Take Your Time,” this only the first part of a three-part epic. Believe that there’s more to come. Watch this space.

The focus for the Yoruba Soul Originals series has always been funk and soul of the highest caliber. Jesse Gannon’s new efforts does not disappoint that standard while bringing a message that is undeniably timely. A message most utterly now…
