Hola amigos and amigas! "After all is said and done, the best
is yet to come." I'm in a surprisingly bouyant mood
today. It may have something to do with the musicians
featured today. Interestingly enough, they're both
local. See how it makes you feel. Welcome to The
Jumpoff!
A-Side
I went to a concert on Saturday. I'm almost at a loss of word to describe it because it felt like more than that to me. The opening act was a really nice guy by the name of Ben Carroll, check out his myspace if you get a chance. There was also Mutlu from the illadelph holding it down. But the main event, the main event (for emphasis), was as close to church as i have been in a while. Soulful music has a way of transcending the immediate and transporting the listener(s), and i'm sure the medium(s), to a place beyond the physical and into the spiritual. I'm sure that might have something to do with why it's called soul. Regardless, the entire set was amazing but when this song hit my ears, i became a believer in the gospel (transl. - good news) of ... Jesse Dee - Yet to come
B-Side
I found out about this artist when i first moved to Boston. He just so happened to be the winner of the Boston Music Awards Singer/Songwriter award in 2006. He couldn't have had better timing, it's like he knew i was moving here. Well, he's got two albums to his credit, and this song is from his second release, Back Flipping Forward. Will Dailey - Boom Boom
So that will do it today. Stay cool, embrace the soul in you. Until next time, be easy.
