Allison Moorer - Mochingbird

Thanks for the heads up,. I'll be going to Amazon immediately. I have really been enjoying Shelby Lynn's latest effort. The sound and production is wonderful. Joan Osborne has a couple of alnums that are also of this ilk.

Looks like we're seeing a trend here of neo/retro-soul artists putting out some good stuff. I wish Amy Winehouse's cd's sounded as good as Shelby's.

But, I have to ask... where are the sisters? What's up with all these white girls singging all the great soul music right now, (Josh Stone to name another). I love the funky dobo's and the alt country back beats but somebody in Detroit needs to come back from the dead and show the world how real soul music is done. Aretha, are you out there?

Muzikat... I heard Queens Interview on PBS radio when she was promoting her last album. It peaked my interest at the time but I forgot about it. Is she talented or what? Acting, comedy, hip hop, soul, talk show host. She can do anything and do it well.

I have also heard Mockingbird a couple of times now and am a little under whelmed but maybe it will grow on me as some cds like this do.

Go to UTUBE and copy and past the two titles below. This girl is an up and comer. She looks fantastic live but unfortunately, I thought her latest cd, “This is somewhere” didn’t really capture her at her best. Maybe a little overproduced and mainstream. I will definitely be trying to catch her live.
