ALBUM REVIEW
This is not your typical music review section. Since this site deals with classic soul and funk and so forth, I will feature either a new or recently released CD or an older release which I consider good music that may have slipped under the radar and was ignored when originally released.
A new CD review will be put up here shortly.
