Today's Quick Mention: I've decided that the NFL draft is
ridiculous due to the fact that it's placed at the point of the year where
you realize that very soon the only sport on TV will be baseball, so you end
up watching hours of talking heads in order to get a big enough football
high to last the summer. Lame!
I had an EP planned for today, but then the powers-that-be (aka PR/Label
folk) notified me that it was finally OK to share a little something from
the brand new Naomi Shelton And The Gospel Queens full length, What Have
You Done, My Brother?, and I'm taking advantage of the freedom.
Daptone Records will release the LP on May 26. Buy every copy.
Enjoy.

Shelton And The Gospel Queens - What Have You Done?:
As is always the case with Daptone Records (home of Sharon
Jones And The Dap-Kings - in case you forgot), they have
something here that's soul perfection. The music,
which is provided by some of the same folks that back-up
Sharon, beams with authenticity, and Naomi's voice has the
kind of genuine passion that just bowls you over.
There's no way you don't like this.
