Thanks Antceleb. The Killers are not exactly a band people here would normally like as they're more of indie rock/alternative pop band. But the Day and Age album shows a variety of styles and influences. The opening song Losing Touch certainly shows a Motown influence with the saxophones. Interesting that some consider the band's use of the sax on several cuts to be controversial and/or cheesy. When did the saxophone become such a discredited instrument? The band has admitted that some would find the use of sax controversial but they felt the instrument was due for a return to favor. There's another track in which they make use of harp and steel drums which has annoyed some of their rock oriented critics and fans. | ||

It's no surprise that Raphael's cd "The Way I See It" would get some strong support on SDF. It was a much anticipated project, and well worth the wait. Love & Life - Eric Benet, was also a good cd, with many fine moments. However, my favourite cd by a long mile last year was by UK outfit Reel People called "Seven Ways To Wonder". It was a superb mix of quality soulful house and jazzy rhythms designed for people with open minds, that don't pidgeon hole their music. Production values were very high. I appreciate it won't appeal to all of you, but I can't urge you enough to at least google it, and hear some samples. Also worthy of a mention was Al Green's "Lay It Down. | ||

Thanks, Richard. I'm going to have to check out Reel People along with Chi's mention of Palmystery by Victor Wooten (I love that man's work in and out of the Flecktones) and Sekou Bunche which wicked noted. I don't really have a favorite of 2008 unless I mention two that were released late 2007 which I still listen to quite often. Don Byron's Do The Boomerang (his tribute to Jr Walker) and Dee Dee Bridgewater's Red Earth. I do love that Al Green though, even stuff I never thought would work like his duet with Corrine Bailey Rae. Also like a lot of Chaka's Funk This, too. Especially her remake of Dee Dee Warwick's Foolish Fool... | ||

I hear you, gkwgwa. Those "rockers" who say the sax is "cheezy" obviously don't know the roots of rock ... JAZZ! | ||

M-Swift - Evening Sun (2008) What a wonderful end to last year. Part time Incognito player (and the album features a lot of Bluey's sidekicks too). Every track a winner and 78mins of original music to make your toes twitch! One for the floors! Jester. | ||

Day and Age is a great album Antceleb. Play it several times a week here. And The Killers are great live. Saw them at Madison Sq.Garden last week and they blew the roof off the place. At the end everyone in the sold out arena was singing along to songs like Human and When You Were Young. The stands were shaking! | ||

Best New Album`s of 2008 :- For me the ladies in 2008 just edge it, but a couple of the guy`s "hack" it, as well. " Soul Talkin " Linda Jones with Helen Bruner & Terry Jones......Outstanding ( My Opinion OK ) " Listen " Terry Dexter ( At times a leaning to the Church...but hey no problem with that) Classy. " The Way I See It " Raphael Saadiq great work . " Jennifer Hudson " Jennifer Hudson Yeah! Happy with that one. " The Promise " Deborah Cox nice to see her back. " Love & Life " Eric Benet wonderful lyrics...you can feel this. " Sol-Angel& the Hadley St. Dreams" Solange. take a listen...works for me. "Gerald Alston Sings Sam Cooke" this Guy could sing the yellow pages and I would buy it !! All the above still get heavy play`s in my house. Best, John | ||

I've really thought about this one a lot. My vote goes to "Melody" by Sharleen Spiteri. Real instruments, a retro-feel, a soulful voice that lingers in the memory like Dusty Springfield...I hope to hear more ! |
