February 27, 2008Review: Case Jones, "Love Jones"Case Jones, originally from the "Boogie Down" Bronx, has been in the 'noke for years now, most of them as one-half of the rap duo Mack Jones. Jones and his partner, Poe Mack, have been doing their own things lately, but here they co-executive produce. "Love Jones" is a fun ride through Jones often wacky, sometimes hard and sometimes sensitive lyrical world -- the 13 tracks (14 with the intro) fly by. Samples include the Grateful Dead's "Casey Jones," natch. There are plenty of soul and funk grooves, then he breaks verses over Pat Benatar's "Love Is A Battlefield." January 25, 2008CD review: Sol Creech Band's "Freedom"First, a note. I'm reviewing local and regional CDs now. I'll probably get to one or two a week, so I'll do my best to review them in the order I receive them, though I will go back through my back catalog of local artists. I'll include a mailing address at the bottom of this entry. So, let's get into "Freedom," the new record from Sol Creech Band. |
