Morning people.  Don’t know if you knew a tribute album was being made for Frankie Beverly and Maze.  The great R&B/Soul group that has released 12 albums, and has 30 chart hits.  Silky Soul Music released the album which contains a great list of artists.  They are Mary J. Blige, Musiq Soulchild, Ledisi, Kem, Mint Condition, Joe, Raheem DeVaughn, Kevon Edmonds, Avant and the Clark Sisters with J. Moss and Kierra Sheard.  My favorite song so far is “Golden Time Of Day” sung by Kem.  That’s my joint right there. :)  Anyway, you can get the album from iTunes.  They have a website dedicated for the tribute album, and also to foster community support..  Fans are already asking for a second volume for some of the hits that were left out of this release.  Here’s to hoping. Below is the track listing.

1. Silky Soul (Musiq Soul Child)  5:21

2. Golden Time of Day (KEM)  5:35

Blacksummers' Night

Good afternoon.  Just a friendly reminder of two great albums coming our this summer, which is turning out to be pretty good for releases.  I just wish they would spread them out through the year, and the winter and spring won’t be so dry.  Anyway, we have Maxwell’s long awaited Blacksummers’ Night album arriving July 7th.  I’ve pre-ordered my copy of the Deluxe CD/DVD, and you can do so here @ Amazon.

Ledisi

Also we have Ledisi dropping her album “Turn Me Loose” on August 18th.  It will be her 5th album.  I can’t wait to hear this one.  I even picked up her Christmas album to get my fix.  It was great of course. When she came to Memphis last year, it was an unreal show. To me her show was one of the best Soul concerts I’ve ever seen.  The other great was Jill Scott, and 3rd is Frankie Beverly and Maze.  Last year was a great year for concerts in Memphis. Focus Eric. Here is a sample of her song Alone from the new album.
