Same one I've had for years James Brown on the Tammy show Same tape I've had for years I sit in my old car Same one I've had for years Old battery's running down It ran for years and years Turn on the radio The static hurts my ears Tell me where would I go I ain't been out in years Turn on the stereo It's played for years and years An Otis Redding song It's all I own When the world is running down You make the best of what's still around When the world is running down You make the best of what's still around Plug in my M.C.I To excercise my brain Make records on my own Can't go out in the rain Pick up the telephone I've listened here for years No one to talk to me I've listened here for years When the world is running down You make the best of what's still around When the world is running down You make the best of what's still around When I feel lonely here Don't waste my time with tears I run 'Deep Throat' again It ran for years and years Don't like the food I eat The cans are running out Same food for years and years I hate the food I eat When the world is running down You make the best of what's still around When the world is running down You make the best of what's still around When the world is running down You make the best of what's still around When the world is running down You make the best of what's still around Verse 1: Repeat fading

The Rebirth "This Journey in" Album Review

Soul music's jam band
Atlanta natives and a growing number of others will recognize the compliment and the comparison when I say that The Rebirth reminds me a great deal of Seek. Subtle, moving vocals over a very organic and musically adept band all combined with a hard to place, vaguely spacey feel. Noelle Scaggs has the kind of voice that you can listen to all night without being blown away and yet simultaneously have absolutely no desire to go anywhere else.

The Rebirth is essential summer mood music. Songs like "Stay Away" make you feel good in the same way that it's always harder to be down when the sun is shining. It's sunroof open and windows down music. It's dance in the living room with your sweetie music.

The band has a Sweetback-type funk to it. The grooves are solid and the instrumentation tight, but there's nothing that might threaten to take the spotlight off the collective output. There are no wild solos, nothing to draw attention to individual players. It's playing for the sake of the audience. Songs like "Shake It", "Got Your Madness", and "This Journey In" are demonstrations of The Rebirth's ability to create an atmosphere where their audiences can enjoy themselves. It's not necessarily about the audience singing along, it's about the experience.

The Pointer Sisters "In Concert" Album Review

The best female vocal group EVER, live
This is the companion piece or CD copy of a live performance by THE FABULOUS POINTER SISTERS in Billings Montana. It is also available on DVD...and is an absolute winner. The Pointers unfortunately minus June but with Ruths daughter Issy as replacement are still as taut and vocally efficient as ever. Their harmonies remain unsurpassed. From the first number Happiness to the encore of Wang Dang Doodle, the Pointers will have you dancing, and singing along. I really loved their live version of Neutron Dance and Chain of Fools,.
Fabulous Indeed. Get the DVD as well.

Earl Thomas "Intersection" Album Review

Great Album!
After seeing Earl Thomas live at the Montreux Jazz Festival 2006, It was a must to go and buy his CD's.

Earl Thomas - Intersection, is a great album, with a lot well-known covers, excellent mix of blues, soul, jazz, and gospel! Earl Thomas' voice is amazing - never seen something like this before. His live shows are extraordinary and remarkable.

A must for all modern soul lovers!
