Throwback: Black History Month/Happy 75th Birthday, Rick James! @rickjames

I think the first time I saw the name Amp Fiddler was as a sessioner in the liner notes to Maxwell‘s debut LP The Urban Hang Suite, a sumptuous, meandering neo-soul affair that sits as timeless as any classic from Sade, Meshell, Bill Withers, or anyone else.  The next time I saw him mentioned was in Straight No Chaser magazine, where his sophomore solo album, Waltz of a Ghetto Fly, was coming…

Fischer & Forde : It's Just Business
Fischer & Forde : It’s Just Business
There’s an uninhibited joy on Fischer & Forde’s debut album It’s Just Business. The dance/disco/house LP begs you to unplug from the big machine, put on your dancing shoes, and give into the grooves. It’s the kind of album you decimate your eardrums with in the car and drive an extra couple blocks just so you can finish it, only to sit in the driveway when you get home and give it another go…
