Hola amigos and amigas!  One day away from the weekend, and here's some soulful grooves to ease you right on into the weekend.  Welcome to The Jumpoff!

A-Side
This is a new artist on Stones Throw records.  He's a 29 year old soul crooner from Ann Arbor, Michigan that had no intention of becoming a professional musician.  But you can't hid soul this good under a bushel.  He hasn't released an album or anything yet, but keep an eye/ear out for him in 09.  Mayer Hawthorne & The County - Just ain't gonna work out



B-Side
This next group formed in Houston, Texas in 1966.  They were signed to the reknowned Gamble & Huff's Philadelphia International Records.  They had some modest hits from the late 60s to the mid to late 70s, but finally split in 1980.  This song has been covered by a few other groups, but i like this version.  Archie Bell & The Drells - A Thousand Wonders



That's it today.  Stay cool.  Until next time, be easy.
