If you like 70s jazz-funk, funk, than this cd 'Hear It Is' from Bulk is a must have. If you like the music of blaxplotation movies, then this is it. The sound is unbelievable, it's the seventies, lot's of wah wah, Isaac Hayes sounds, superb. Bulk recorded this album during a live webcast performance at Ex'pression in Emeryvill, CA in the spring of 2009. There were no second takes or overdubbing sessions. Bulk started a few years ago at John Patricks in Alameda and now headlines Saturday nights at the Boom Boom Room in San Francisco. These guys keep the funk alive! Remember this is live recorded. You can listen buy this CD at CDBABY. The bulk website. |

Peabo Bryson is back on the soul scene. After 8 years of silence he finally recorded a new, his twentieth, album 'Missing You' and for the first time on Peak records. On this album he collaborate with less and well known artists. When I opened the envelope and read the back cover information I knew that this album would be great. The reason is Barry J. Eastmond, he produced mainly this album |

The CD sampler of Sunny Hawkins 'More of You' also promise a good debut CD for Sunny. 'Love Me Too' is a pleasant track with a high sing along standard. The CD title track 'More Of You' is more a rough song than 'Love Me Too'. It contains some heavy guitar licks. 'What A Man' is gospel/pop song the same for 'Crazy'. My preferable track is 'Love Me Too'. Sunny have also a church background. For more info www.hiddenbeach.com |
