Description

Cold Diamond & Mink – My Echo, Shadow & Me (7″) [Timmion TR759]

Instrumental versions of the well-received collaboration with singer Jonny Benavidez, released on New York’s Daptone Records. Two different instrumental sides of soulful magic that perfect the mood for any occasion. The soulful instrumental mastery of Cold Diamond & Mink takes centre stage in this release that includes two essential tracks from their collaboration with the singer Jonny Benavidez. Both songs are lifted from the album My Echo, Shadow and Me that the group recorded together with the golden-voiced Chicano soul brother for New York’s Daptone Records.

On the A-side, you get to immerse yourself in the enchanting crossover soul beats of “My Echo, Shadow and Me”, the instrumental rendition complementing the previous gems by Benavidez and the band on Timmion Records. Flipping the record exposes another soulful groover in “Playing The Fool” that showcases Cold Diamond & Mink’s love for iconic ‘60s and ‘70s indie soul by groups like The T.S.U. Tornadoes and The Commands. The whole My Echo, Shadow and Me LP is getting an instrumental treatment on Timmion, and this single shows that even without the vocals Jonny Benavidez’s strong influences from Texas Chicano soul shine through loud and clear.
