this week, to make up for a long absence, we've got a classic cassette from one of my personal favorite molam pop stars. honey sri'isan, from kalasin, was a big name in her home region before becoming known nationwide as a model (she was the first and only molam to appear as a cover girl for malai thai rath). this 1991 cassette contains the second of two albums she recorded for the bangkok-based thai-muslim imprint yanavy sound. with compositions by the legendary dao bandon and music by a. num phuthai & his band, pop molam doesn't get much better than this. sadly, honey died just a year after this album when her pickup overturned on the way back from a concert in sisaket. the location on the highway is still marked with a shrine where regular performances are held in her memory[1].

Thank you for this.

I get the sense that bad luck follows Molam stardom.

And what's "malai thai rath"

hi dolmance!

yeah, it seems like touring was a treacherous business back in the day.

oh, and sorry, i suppose i should have explained "malai thai rath"; it's like a "swimsuit issue" of the national "thai rath" newspaper.

Great to see you back around and especially with one of my favourite 90's Esan singer. It seems like the people of Kalasin are realy proud her talent, even my young Kalasin friends like her a lot. It's always quite surprising to find some Yanavy 90's molam tapes, some are really great. If I'm not wrong they also released Honey's first wonderfull tape (though it could be a re edition).
