That eliminates me from ever listening to it.

Now don't be too hasty there v_l. I'm no rap fan, not my cup of tea, though I am a Huge fan of the man I consider the Godfather of rap, Gil Scott-Heron. It's not a rap album, there's just some scratch & rap layered in with their updated rock sound. If you like their original music, I think odds are very good you'll like this newer (2009) release. It has an extended version of The Mexican from the 'First Base' album, along with some bluesy, jazzy offerings. As always YMMV.

To be completely truthful, I have never heard the band. But the thought of anything approaching rap or containing rap coming from my speakers sends shivers up my spine. I'm afraid I might take a baseball bat to Babe Ruth.

But that gives you an idea of how much I hate rap (I don't consider it music) and for me hip-hop is not far behind. As you said, YMMV

I hope you're doing well.

I heard Libby Titus at friend's while in KC this weekend. Love Has No Pride is a beautiful song and this is the original. Picked up a sealed copy on Discogs

Hanging in, finally have some work, so staying out of trouble. Hope all is well with you too. Looks like Fall has arrived (with a vengence, and a touch of schizophrenia). I've got Que Pasa sitting here, will que it up, and post with samples in the 'Listening' thread. Their stuff has always been an interesting mix of styles. Some hard & fast, some slow & thoughtful. Have a great weekend, going to be wet here. And I agree in general re: rap.

I have her singing on a Burt Bacharack (? spelling) album I have with the Houston Symphony and it's the track with her that I listen to most. Nice song, but she's the reason. That's an old album, btw, and she's very photogenic on it, too.
