Didn't think I would like this one, I did quite a bit. Paul Simon's Graceland meets They Might be Giants. Maybe not even that. But it's got that brainy TMBG's feel.

No comment, we all know how good this one is.

I listen to Melody Gardot quite a bit myself.

Sonics are average, or just below average. Otherwise a good mix of funky Afro rhythms.

Buddy Guy, skin deep

BG latest release.

Quote

At 71, his brilliance as a guitarist remains undiminished as he elicits tones so ferocious they sound like he’s manhandling six industrial power lines rather than playing a portable instrument.

Wow... this guy has been around a long time, I remember hearing Sunny way back in the 60's. Soulful R&B.

Quote

BOBBY HEBB is best remembered for his 1966 self-penned hit “Sunny,” and for co-authoring the LOU RAWLS hit “A Natural Man.

Listening to the 'acoustic sessions'...

Quote

"Nine Heavens" features nine intricately carved original arrangements and compositions of traditional folk songs and mystical Sufi poems from Iran, the Indian sub-continent and Turkey. With a strong emphasis on composition, Niyaz centers on the deep interconnectedness between the music of Iran, India and Turkey, and delves further into the traditional melodies of these regions with outstanding performances by its core members as well as guest musicians of the highest caliber from these three traditions...the acoustic versions reflect the songwriting talents and mystical leanings that Azam and Loga bring; then the "final" versions showcase the organic way Carmen's electronics fit both the rhythms and the mood of these deeply-rooted works.

Where's Gordy been lately? He's a major fan of Azam Ali. Turned me onto Feast of Silence in one of her incarnations, YAS (girl gets around). Guess I'll be checking this one out.

Johnny Cash, John Prine, John Denver, John Hiatt, that's a lot of Johns. If you want to check how your system recreates male vocals, this is a good sampler. Great songs, great performances.
