The Dream – Sorry

The Dream – Sorry (2010)

The Dream - Love king

Take The Dream doing his best Bobby McFerrin impression, add a scoop of Ladysmith Black Mambazo, and top it off with a pinch of Rockapella, and you get ‘Sorry’. Can’t blame a guy for dreamin’ (HAH).

Bob Marley - Kaya

I have never smoked marijuana; probably never will. However – if I ever do, get me whatever the hell these guys were smokin’ on when they captured this brilliant take – please.

Deborah Cox – Up & Down

Deborah Cox – Up & Down (2002)

Why doesn’t R&B sound like this anymore? Its easy to be crude and talk about condoms and menage-a-trois; innuendo on the other hand takes a bit more skill. Also – Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis are beasts.

I don’t know what it is, but for some reason I can’t stay away from these soft-rock AM-Gold classics. Oh well…

Wings – Jet

Wings – Jet (1973)

Band On The Run

Great track – but is the mix a problem or a feature? Never have I heard a stereo track sound so centered, restrained and mono – yet, the louder it gets, the better it sounds. Curious.

Lawyers In Love

Yea, that’s right – I prefer the poppy Jackson Browne to the folksy Jackson Browne. Wanna fight about it?

The Outfield – Your Love

The Outfield – Your Love (1985)

The Outfield Big Innings Front Cover

Yea – this song is all chorus; But when your chorus is this good, lyrics just get in the way. Note: the song really ends at about minute 2 of 3:36.
