Sabaithong Powpuri - great Isaan Molam on the Phin Kaen Label!

If you liked Phet Pin Thong or Onuma Singsiri, this is just the right record for you! Great Molam (mostly Lam Ploern, but rich in variation) from Ms. Sabaithong Powpuri. She is less well known than Angkanang Khunchai or Onuma, but personally I like her voice the best. I have only seen two LPs from her - this one is excellent (if the cover picture looks familiar: it was used for a Sublime Frequencies Compilation of Molam). "Lam Ploern Tüan Jai Tahan Thai" for your listening pleasure here!

Killer Molam from Monruedee Promjak!


This is from a split album by Chapabrai Naamwai (Side A) and Monruedee Promjak (Side B). The style here is not Lam Ploen but Lam Dang Wai (sometimes transcribed Lam Tung Wai), very hypnotic - reminds me a lot of Junior Kimbroughs hypnotic blues guitar riffs. Since its in a nondescript gray cover, I put a picture of another LP by Monruedee as a header for this post. The original cover and titles you find below. Be prepared for very intensive 17 listening minutes here! Enjoy!

Waiphod Petsuphan Vinyl - เซิ้งกระติ๊บข้าว great Isaan LP!

One of Waiphod's finest LPs. Luk Thung Isaan or Molam-style...? It is definitely Isaan music, just to give you a rough idea. Waiphod Petsuphan is in Europe one of the better known Thai singers, thanks to Re-issues and compilations (Sound of Siam, Ding Ding Dong 7 inch, Thai Beat a-go-go etc). Taken from vinyl LP BK 712, as always as a single file for the true connoiseur. Recommended unconditionally, please enjoy!
