tasty sultry soul from the inimitable lady wray. the black keys serve as her back up band here and they truly sizzle with skills. songs about real life issues like that time your brother got locked up or those times when your broke and you gotta ask your partner to spot you some funds to go out and have some funs.

sampled by heavy hitters including jay-z, kendrick lamar and 50 cent, these guys are part of a current crop of artists including adrian younge and badbadnotgood who make instrumental vintage style soul with hip hop sensibility.

if this music was any smoother, it'd have to have been made by ducks.
_dj strong enough for a man ph balanced for a woman
if this music does not get you some action, then maybe you need to change up your score sauce.

tasty tunes. i love that this record is called 'journey to the shore' and there they are on the cover, standing by the beach. they're from new jersey. this one's a burner. 'when you're crying' might just make you cry, if you're not already crying when you put it on. _pert plus
i was at a dance club in pittsburgh several years back and the dj was bringing strong vibes. he was spinning 45s only. this song 'row my boat' came on, and the mood got so romantic. i went up to the dj and implored him to tell me who it was. 'the four mints!' he shouted over roar of the music. if ya don't know, now ya know. another choice cut off this lp is 'can't get strung out.' words to live by, right there.

every bit as hip as this album cover suggests... i crooned this to my lady friend to get her to marry me, if that gives you any clue of how smooth i think these sounds are...
