[...] Soul Boulders 2 has arrived, and it more than lives up to my ridiculously high expectations. As defined on the original mix’s packaging, Soul Boulders are slow, funky soul burners. Volume 2 hews closely to that theme, and incorporates some slightly left-of center ‘real-people’ moments that keep the listening experience lively.

Hey has anyone ever come across a copy of goin’ down the road? 900 miles became a bit of a dj stable at our night in Birmingham Uk…(i wonder if clarence ever thought 24 yr old white boys from Brum would be dancing to 900 miles in 2010!)

Finding a copy of Goin’ has become pretty much the holy grail!

Came across your blog while searching for information on Clarence Cooper. I posted a rare live recording of Cooper at the Village Limelight in 1964. You can hear it and find some background information at:

By the way, do you actually own a copy of “Goin’ Down the Road?” If you do, would you be willing to make a CD copy for me in exchange for a CD of his rare Tarriers material?

Forgot to mention, this song “900 Miles” is the exact same tune as the Kingston Trio’s song “The Wanderer”.

I LOVE Clarence Cooper! I’ve really been getting into his Tarrier’s stuff recently, and have managned to track down some of their rarer material like “Hard Travelin’” and “Gather ‘Round” etc. I’m going to try and find a copy of these, though. Thanks so much for posting.
