The first edition, released in 2019, focused on his innovative productions in the luk thung (*1) style. This 2022 release features his stellar, glowing molam (*2) gems from the 60s-80s, drawn mainly from his golden era in the late 70s and early 80s. Surin Phaksiri is a highly esteemed figure in Thai music, rooted deeply in his native region of Isan in northeast Thailand, a producer with a deep respect for the traditional artistry of his culture, yet always moving forward, looking outward, listening ahead. The molam style of Thai music showcases the voice; indeed, the genre’s name means “expert singer”, and Thailand is blessed with an abundance of experts, singers with amazing control, grace, vitality and finesse.

This 2022 release features his stellar, glowing molam (*2) gems from the 60s-80s, drawn mainly from his golden era in the late 70s and early 80s. Surin Phaksiri is a highly esteemed figure in Thai music, rooted deeply in his native region of Isan in northeast Thailand, a producer with a deep respect for the traditional artistry of his culture, yet always moving forward, looking outward, listening ahead. The molam style of Thai music showcases the voice; indeed, the genre’s name means “expert singer”, and Thailand is blessed with an abundance of experts, singers with amazing control, grace, vitality and finesse. This collection of 22 songs features 15 singers, ranging from venerated legends to unjustly unheralded masters of the art. These songs were recorded and released after the era of the 7-inch single; with the advent of the cassette boom in Thai music, most producers adopted a quantity-over-quality conveyer belt production style, churning out soundalike material to fill the expanded length of cassette tape. Phaksiri resisted these tides and continued to work with a single-song mindset, tailoring each production’s instrumentation and arrangement to precisely fit each singer and song. This care and integrity can be clearly heard in this sweetly groovy collection. These gems, originally released on 7-inch vinyl, are all first-time official reissues, a project years in the making. Compiled by Soi48, who also provide liner notes. Footnotes: 1) Luk thung: A musical genre whose name means ‘country person’ s song’ or ‘children of the field’ . The name became established in the latter half of the 1960s and now has the status of a national genre of popular song unique to Thailand. The lyrics of luk thung songs deal mainly with the rural idyll, comparisons between the city and the countryside, life in the big city and current affairs. There are certain typical traits to the music, but no official musical form. 2) Molam: \"mo\" is an expert and \"lam\" is a kind of performance art where the artist tells a story using tonal inflexions. In other words, the term molam refers to both the singer and art form. Molam pieces are not strictly speaking \"songs\".\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Media Condition is New\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is new and unplayed\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003eThe Sleeve Condition is New\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eNew unplayed\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Tracks of this item include:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1. ลำเพลินชายคนโก้ = Lam Phloen A Handsome Guy\u003cbr\u003e2. ลำเพลินเชิญจองน้อง = Lam Phloen Call Me Please\u003cbr\u003e3. ลำเพลินเย้ยสาว = Lam Phloen Put A Girl In Her Place\u003cbr\u003e4. แก้วตาลำเพลิน = Kaewta Prayalae Lam Phloen\u003cbr\u003e5. ลำเพลินเชิญฮักอ้าย = Lam Ploen Pleas Date With Me\u003cbr\u003e6. ลำเพลินไม่ง้อก็ไม่รัก = Lam Phloen No Appease No Love\u003cbr\u003e7. ลําเพลินอาลัยชาอุ = Lam Phloen Think About Sa-U\u003cbr\u003e8. ลำเพลินเสี่ยวกับเสี่ยว = Lam Phloen Best Friend And Best Friend\u003cbr\u003e9. ลำเพลินพ่อฮ้างน้อย = Lam Phloen Young Widower\u003cbr\u003e10. ลำเพลินเชิญทอดกฐิน = Lam Phloen Let's Go To Kathina Festival\u003cbr\u003e11. ลำตังหวายไพลิน = Lam Tangwai Phairin\u003cbr\u003e12. ลำเพลินนครพนม = Lam Phloen Sakhon Na Khon\u003cbr\u003e13. ลำตังหวายจิ๊กกี๋ = Lam Tangwai Gigolette\u003cbr\u003e14. ลำเพลินโฟล์คซอง  = Lam Phloen Folk Song\u003cbr\u003e15. ลําเพลินชีวิตหนังเร่ = Lam Phloen Open-Air Cinema\u003cbr\u003e16. ลำเพลินนครพนม = Lam Phloen Nakhon Phanom\u003cbr\u003e17. ลำเพลินก่อนจาก = Lam Phloen Before Farewell\u003cbr\u003e18. เบิ่งนครพนม = Welcome To Nakhon Phanom\u003cbr\u003e19. ลำเต้ยเกี้ยวรำวง = Lam Toei Ram Wong Romance\u003cbr\u003e20.  ลำเพลินเดินชมดงเทียบนิทาน = Lam Phloen The Story Of Walking In The Forest\u003cbr\u003e21. ลำเพลินเชิญรัก = Lam Phloen Let's Fall In Love\u003cbr\u003e22. ลำเต้ยสัจจะสาวอิสาน = Lam Toei A Promise Of Isan Girl\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont color=\"red\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWe Use Stock Images\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nBecause we have over 6 million items for sale we have to use stock images, this listing does not include the actual image of the item for sale.
