Miki Howard - "Fed Up"

I was recently told that Miki Howard was doing southern soul and, I must admit, I was very skeptical. After all, she was all r&b and has been so forever and ever. I had my doubts but then I heard "Fed Up" and was pleasantly surprised.  This sounds more like southern soul than r&b and I like it!

It's a story about a friend telling her girlfriend that she ought to be fed up with her guy's lying and his cheating ways.  She knows that she deserves a better man.  You know that your real friends will tell you the truth; they can often see what you can't see.

Have you noticed that more and more r&b singers are crossing over to this side?   I think the southern soul world is growing and I'm all for it!!  I love the music and love the idea of increasing the number of listeners!!

Thank you Melvin Jordan!!!

Pokey Bear - "Got A Root Coming On"

I got a root coming on.  Now, that sounds like something my grandma from Alabama might have said.  Or some of the women over in Louisiana.  Well Mr. It Ain't Fair, this is in heavy rotation down south and it's a great dance song!

And listen to the music behind the tracks - it's pretty good!

Enjoy!
