Queen "B"
You all may not know about Lady B, maybe Zing has mentioned her before. He introduced her to me in 2010. He surprised me with a limousine along mm with friends to see her live. Very small venue, regardless, it was awesome! We met lady B, chatted a bit and she gave me a ring she was wearing because I knew all the lyrics to one of her songs. It was super sweet!
Track # 3...Talkin' Talkin' Talkin' (Puttin' My Buisness in the Street), my favorite Lady B tune!

Yellow Moon -- CD
Neville Brothers
1989 A&M Records
Amazon.com essential recording
The Neville Brothers are a New Orleans institution. Their voices glide freely and harmonize into a rich texture. For Yellow Moon, they enlisted the help of producer Daniel Lanois to meld their voices and rhythms with his swampy dreamscapes. The percussion is subtle, the guitars melt into the background, and the voices puncture the placid night sky, as if providing the soundtrack to an old western. Two protest-era Dylan songs ("With God on Our Side" and "The Ballad of Hollis Brown") are recast as modern anthems for spiritual reconciliation. The Sam Cooke classic "A Change is Gonna Come" remains an envied promise, while the original material (the title track; "Sister Rosa," about Rosa Parks) is among their finest. Not a return to form, but rather a welcome break from tradition. --Rob O'Connor

Emotion & Commotion -- CD
Jeff Beck
2010 ATCO Records
Wow! April 13, 2010
By Satchmo
Format:Audio CD
"Emotion and Commotion" is Jeff Beck's much-anticipated new release. Clocking in at just about 40 minutes, there is no wasted space on the disc. I will not go through track by track, as the other reviewers have done a nice job summarizing each song. Basically on this album, Beck leaves behind the high-powered techno and electronica flavors of his previous albums "Jeff," "You Had It Coming" and "Who Else" and goes for a more laid-back, worldly groove of classic rock fusion with classical undertones. Besides his amazing tone, these songs are wonderful. The covers are arranged well and tastefully done. Anyone who can transition from the beautiful "Somewhere over the Rainbow" to Screamin' Jay Hawkins' "I Put A Spell On You" and back to Jeff Buckley's "Lilac Wine" and make it cohesive within the album is doing something right. The Beck originals, "Hammerhead" and "Serene" are also well-written.
I recently started listening to Jeff Beck a couple years ago. I admit that I am a newcomer to his music. As a guitar player, I cannot even begin to comprehend Beck's tone and virtuoso skills. I am blown away by what he is able to achieve on his instrument. This album is highly recommended to 1)Any Jeff Beck fan (obviously), 2)Anyone who plays the guitar and wants to understand what is capable on the instrument, 3)Anyone who wants to explore creative and exciting new music, produced by one of the most criminally under-rated musicians of our time. Hope this helps!
1. "Corpus Christi Carol" Benjamin Britten 2:40
2. "Hammerhead" Jeff Beck, Jason Rebello 4:15
3. "Never Alone" Rebello 4:22
4. "Over the Rainbow" Harold Arlen, E. Y. Harburg 3:10
5. "I Put a Spell on You" (featuring Joss Stone) Screamin' Jay Hawkins 2:59
6. "Serene" (featuring Olivia Safe) Beck, Rebello 6:05
7. "Lilac Wine" (featuring Imelda May) James Shelton 4:44
8. "Nessun Dorma" Giacomo Puccini 2:56
9. "There's No Other Me" (featuring Joss Stone) Rebello, Joss Stone 4:05
10. "Elegy for Dunkirk" (featuring Olivia Safe) Dario Marianelli 5:03

Hiatus Kaiyote, Choose Your Weapon
Ever since I started picking up some of the Snarky Puppy albums, this band has been "recommended" to me on Amazon. Certainly arresting cover art; then I noticed this had average full 5-star reviews. It's nothing like Snarky Puppy, but I'm really digging it. Female singer (very good pipes, and can't tell if they're running her voice through a Harmonizer or she's just very good at overdubbing), lots of programming, sound effects, this is really some good stuff and I've already ordered their debut album now too (it's nowhere near the "heavy metal" sound the album art or title infer).
Sure with Amazon still offered snippets of songs from albums, that sure helped my purchasing choices. This one, for my ears anyway, was a Find! :music-listening:
