Marcus has hit 2 home runs so far this week, so I'm willing to give him the benefit of the doubt in a year I'm not usually enthused about.

BTW, this isn't knee-jerk hate of an easy target - these guys had some good moments, but I HATE the sound their drums get on every song.  Awful production choice.

Is Ginger/Marcus allowed to play stuff like Culture Beat's "Mr. Vain"?  That's the direction I'd like to hear this set go in.

OK, now we're talking.  Los Lobos from the ab fab Kiko album.  One of the top ten (if not 5) albums of the 90's imho.

BOS "That Train Don't Stop Here Anymore".

HM to Sting/Clapton; would be easy to hate on this but it's very well done, I think.

I give it a VHM for rarity, but this kinda stuff all blends together as generic Americana for me. Heresy, I know -- but it just doesn't fire me up.

yikes, Crapton helps Sting.

Dude, the next time I see you I am giving you a copy of this album, and you have to swear to listen to it end to end.

Nevertheless, a great song to hear in a presidential run-up that's heavy on the soap opera.

oh, absolutely!  (speaking of, I could NOT believe HRC playing the Rev Wright card yesterday -- does she really want *her* cult/church given the full mainstream media treatment? So far only the HuffingtonPost is on the story)

Howard Tate's comeback-attempt albums of '03 and '06 sounded a LOT like this Robert Cray tune.

"got a bowling ball in my stomach

Yeah, that's how I feel when I hear Tori Amos, all right.  WOS -- music for freshman girl Lit majors who worship Sylvia Plath.

well, techincally it was Tori Amos' solo debut, after Tori Kant Spell.

Wow, does Andy test his upper range at the end of that last verse ... One of the many reasons the song is so thrilling.
