It’s been far too long (8 years) since Sweetback’s last release. Their new CD, which was supposed to be released a couple of months ago, is set for a June 22 release. You can preview the songs at their website. I hate to say it but judging by the snippets I’m hearing as I type this I may have to pass. 🙁
Amp Fiddler’s CD, on the other hand, has a much better feel to it, IMHO. I’m listening some of his tracks for the first time on EJ’s Radio.Blog. He’s also provided some Lewis Taylor, Beady Belle and a few other artists, including my (long lost) girl Adriana Evans (oh where, oh where have you been?!?!?!).
Amp Fiddler at the Apache Cafe…all I can say is that the man rules, no doubt.
Picked up Adriana’s new CD…it’s nice, very nice. I should have put more tracks on it. I’ll do that later on this afternoon.
I’ll be picking Sweetback up I think. I’m hoping that it grows on you.
I picked up the Sweetback CD yesterday. I think it’s pretty good. It’s not as good as the first CD, but I’m not disappointed. I do miss having recognizable voices like Amel Larrieux and Maxwell.
