Larome Powers - "Blues Shack"

I really love "What's The Name of That Thang" by Larome Powers and here is another great dance/party song from him.  I was looking for his bio and found this on the Malaco site: Presently living in Memphis, Tennessee, Larome sang and toured the West Coast during the seventies with acts such as Harvey Scales, Jesse James, Joe Tex, Millie Jackson, The Numonics, Gap Band, War, Lenny Williams, Robert Winters and Fall and many others.  It goes on to say this his goals are to become successful in the music world and inspire old and young to appreciate and become fans of the sounds of blues and southern soul music.  I like that!

Wendell B. - "I Can Deal With The Leaks"

I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Wendell B.  You have to listen to this song.  He said that he can deal with the leaks but we've got to fix that hole. Cause if we don't fix it, one day it's going to sink your boat. Have mercy!!!  So true, if you have a problem or a leak in your relationship or in your life, that little leak will become a huge hole if you don't fix it.

Southern Soul Paradise with Dr. Nick

I was honored to be Dr. Nick’s guest yesterday afternoon in Washington, D.C. on WPFW’s 89.3.  Dr. Nick hosts “Southern Soul Rumpin’” from 2- 4pm every Saturday afternoon (tune in to www.wpfw.org or 89.3 on your dial).  I had so much fun being a part of his show - he is an awesome man.  Dr. Nick gave me a chance to talk about this blog and about southern soul music which I love so dearly.  Did you know that he is the only on-air radio personality and WPFW is the only radio station in the District/MarylandVirginia area playing southern soul music?   He is definitely making a difference in the metro area and around the world.  Dr. Nick touches the lives of so many people and I look forward to listening to him for years and years to come.

Thank you Dr. Nick for caring enough to play the music!

J. Blackfoot - "I'm Not Your Man"

I'm not your man, I'm your lover.  It ain't no either or the other. That's all that I am, I can't take it any further. Ladies, J. just can't make it any clearer than this.  He said that if he wanted responsibilities, he'd get married. So if you're dealing with a guy who only wants to mess around sometimes...

Jaye Hammer - "Dig a Little Deeper"

Oh, do I love southern soul!  Fellas, if you've got a good woman, you've got to hold her and console her and then you got to treat her right! You've got to let her know she's the one you're thinking of.  Well alright, Jaye!  Dig a little deeper, stroke a little longer, roll a little harder (?), hold a little longer, give her what she's missing, love and kisses, you've got to please her. Ladies, if you have a man, sometimes it seems as if he doesn't understand but you know he loves you.  You also have to follow Jaye's advice. He says life is full of pressures - don't you know it!

Check out "Lay The Hammer Down" (http://southernsoulparadise.blogspot.com/2014/05/jaye-hammer-lay-hammer-down.html) and "I'm Leaving You" (http://southernsoulparadise.blogspot.com/2013/06/jaye-hammer-im-leaving-you.html) - both are fantastic Jay Hammer songs!!

Love this music!

Nellie "Tiger" Travis - In Concert in Virginia

Hey Mr. Sexy Man, what yo name is?  Now how many times have you ever heard someone ask that? If you’re from the south, you’ve probably heard it plenty of times.  I watched a dynamic performance over the weekend by Nellie “Tiger” Travis and loved it when she sang her signature song, Mr. Sexy Man.  We all got on the floor as she danced with us!!  She rocked the entire place with her beautiful voice and some of the songs she sang included Baby Mama Drama, Who’s Fooling Who, You Gonna Make Me Cheat, Superwoman, I’m Gonna Slap Yo Weave Off, Can I Back It up, and the oh-so popular Mr. Sexy Man.  She is a personable performer and before singing Happy Birthday, she even asked who was having a birthday.  She called each birthday person by name and showed off her amazing voice by singing a cappella.  Beautiful!

Nellie performed at the RedZone Grill in Fairfax and this venue was perfect for the show.  She makes you feel as if you're a part of her show and if you ever get a chance to see her in concert, go!

RedZone Grill in Fairfax, Virginia

I went to a blues show in northern Virginia over the weekend and had a blast.  I had never been to the RedZone Grill located on Main Street in Fairfax and it is a great club and bar.  Nellie "Tiger" Travis performed and the club provided an intimate setting - it was perfect for her show.  There is always something going on here and you can catch live performances each week. There's a great dance floor and the dee jay knew what the crowd wanted to hear. For sports enthusiasts,The Redzone Grill has plenty of TVs all through the place. The menu has a nice variety and the prices are very reasonable. Service was good and the waiters/waitresses were attentive and friendly. I've never critiqued a club but this one is worth it.  If you're in the DMV, go!!

Enjoy!

Nellie "Tiger" Travis will be performing at the RedZone Grill in Fairfax, Virginia, on Friday, November 7 - I will be there!!!  You know Nellie best for her "what cho name is" song, also known as "Mr. Sexy Man," and she's recorded plenty of other good music.  Thanks to the wonderful folks over at the RedZone Grill, they're allowing me to give away a pair of tickets - yes, they're FREE!!!  I interviewed Nellie a few months ago and if you go to my post (http://southernsoulparadise.blogspot.com/2014/10/concert-nellie-tiger-travis.html), you'll easily answer this question: what is the name of the city and state where Nellie lives?? The free tickets go to the first person who correctly emails me the answer.
