Me’Shell NdegéOcello peace beyond passion / 1996 Maverick / Germany CD / 9362460332
Me’Shell’s follow up to the brilliant Plantation Lullabies is another attention grabber particularly with her deep powerful lyrics and the soulful / funky vibe. Note the ‘distressed’ cover is printed that way!
I know it’s only mid May, but this is shaping up to becoming my album of the year … well, this week, anyway.
Since we seem to be having something of a Black Keys fest, my copy of Mojo Magazine has just plopped through the letterbox, and, blimey, this month’s CD features “The Black Keys present the Hill Country Blues”.
15 tracks of blooze goodness, featuring many of the greats, and including a couple of tracks from The Keys themselves.
I haven’t heard it yet, as I’ve got “Delta Kream” on looped replay here, but surely a nice bit of synchronicity?
