‘Real Man Music 2 – The Return To Real’
Mixed by Rob Pursey
The Return To Real…
A few months back I hit you with volume one of the ‘Real Man Music’ series (props to everyone who blogged, shared and generally gave me feedback – it’s appreciated!) and now here’s Volume 2 - ‘Real Man Music – The Return To Real‘. I also mixed this live one afternoon, sometime last year just after the first, but now Davey Boy Smith has worked his design magic once again and trackmarked this for your easy listening pleasure, we thought it right to share it with y’all. Once again, as I explained before, this is some male vocal, quiet storm action across all genres, with the only theme being, well..some emotional business. So as well as a couple of recurring artists, put it on and kick back, relax, ride out to (or wile out to, if you like)…and well, enjoy midtempo and slow jams from the likes of Eddie Kendricks, Lionel Richie, Zapp, Bobby Caldwell and all the other amazing artists assembled here. ‘The Return To Real’ is exactly that.
Enjoy and please share.

Looking forward to this. And loving the cover – david banner, a real man.
Wow, my favourite mix in recent memory followed what looks like an equally quality followup. Don’t stop with these Mr Pursey, these “Real Man” mixes are deep, deep, deep. As a fellow unabashed “real music” fan I was floored by your inclusion of amazing tracks by Kenny Loggins (take me Home!), Toto, Dennis Wilson, etc along with mellow classics by the soul giants. Keep that shit up!
Double props for ending on Mr Art Garfunkel.
Be Nice To Me = tune.
Thanks for the kind words Mike (and Matt and MF) – really glad people are enjoying the mixes. Part 3 is coming soon…
Reminding me of being in Dallas last summer. So good.
Rob,
Not sure what is going on, but track 17 appears to be missing or corrupt. I tried unsuccessfully unzipping with winzip & winrar. Would you mind re-upping please? Thanks
This is the best mix I’ve heard in ages… Thanks for the good times! Looking forward to the next one.
