Please pick up a copy of the latest issue of righteous magazine Wax Poetics (#47) to read Contributing Editor Jon Kirby’s thoughtful profile of David Lee on page 28. Mr. Lee finds himself among illustrious company in these pages, which are populated by the likes of the great Solomon Burke (the King of Rock ‘n’ Soul himself, RIP); cosmic songster Terry Callier; PoB hero and Carolinas favorite Roy C; the legendary Bobby Womack and Lamont Dozier; and even Earth, Wind, and Fire.

Exciting things are afoot here at Paradise of Bachelors–stay tuned for announcements about our next suite of releases due in the autumn, which includes records by Willie French Lowery and his bands Plant and See and Lumbee, as well as our first release of new music by a contemporary North Carolina artist.
