RIK 508A THE INCANTATIONS – LOVE CAME RUNNIN' c/w
RIK508B TAFF BRYAN & THE 66 – TOGETHER FOREVER
 
Like all Riker releases, here are two big bangers for the price of one.  The Incantations weave a magical spell of tight harmonies and plaintive vocals, locked into an irresistible mid-tempo groove, and supported by the kind of sophisticated brass and strings arrangement that graced so many classic sounds from Philly or Chicago.  It's a song about fate, chance and happenstance; being in the right place, at just the right time.
 
Together Forever first appeared on the album Riker Up! and sees its release here –– as they say, due to popular demand.  Taff Bryan delvers a powerhouse vocal performance that has one little toe firmly in the jazzier end of the soul spectrum.  And from the first note of the intro, to the final crazed ending, The 66 blaze their way through an immensely powerful arrangement that sounds might have come from Studio A at Capitol Records in Hollywood.
 
Riker Records combine original hand crafted songs with cutting edge AI production and badass session players.
 
Once again, Riker is proud to support the Stax Music Academy in Memphis, Tenn., and pledges the artist’s share of royalties on all vinyl sales to help nurture the next generation of soul stars. To date, we’ve donated over $5,500 to the Academy’s work.
