HEAVY AND LOW w/ Clutch and Big Business

I'm keeping it short and simple. Clutch and Big Business are two great American bands that are fun and heavy. Here are two of the best from each band. Enjoy.

I'm Back!!! Let's get down!!!!

Well I ended up with damn virus and had to shut it down for a minute to get my computer back. And dammit if it don't feel good. Speaking of feelin' good i've got three beautiful albums worth of feel good music. First we'll start with a new album I heard straight from France. Yup I said it too...I don't really like many artists from (trying to avoid being a bigot here...) France!!! But this guy has more soul that all of detroit circa 68! Ladies and gentlemen Mr. Day from Lyon,France of the French jazz combo Metropolitan Jazz Affair, the main singer in The Dynamics, known for his Electro-Soul records released on indie label Rotax, as well as his superb featurings on productions by Boozoo Bajou, Patchworks and Mr President !. Mr. Day has been releasing a few singles starting with Soul On Wax (Favorite Recordings 2007) since 2007. Here is the first full length Small Fry featuring a more flushed out version of the aformentioned Soul On Wax. This will keep you groovin' through the warm Summer days like there is an oil slick under your feet. I dare you to not bounce your booty to the smashing "Get you point over". While the Curtis Mayfield influence is pretty obvious there's an abundance of great soul musings here including a down ass sexy soul rendition of the T.Rex classic "Bang-A-Gong". With styles ranging from Marvin Gaye to Ohio Players to a song that wouldh've been at home on a Gil Scott-Heron and Brian Jackson album. (Album closer "Both Sides") If this doesn't get you feeling good...check your pulse. You're probably dead!

Next  is two classics that will fit right along with Mr. Day for your listening pleasure. Starting with 1993's Plantation Lullabies from songstress extrodinare Meshell Ndegeocello (Maverick 1993). This funky journey was nominated for three grammys and still holds it's weight over the entire so called neo-soul movement of that era. Free your mind and your ass WILL follow indeed.

And the final album of the funky three belongs to one Mr. Beck Hansen and the 1999 Grammy nominated album "Midnight Vultures". Starting with great opener "Sexx Laws" Beck takes on an ambitious audio andventure of funky sweaty sexx that would make 80's Prince and David Bowie (Modern Love singing, Young Americans Bowie...not Scary Monsters Bowie. Not much to say about it Beck puts it down and that is all ye need know.
