Music from two soon to be released CD’s and Updated Playlist….
In this weeks rotation we have added songs from two different bands, both recording covers of classic Tower Of Power songs. The first is a song from the “Mic Gillette Band” (MGB), which plays a very different version of “So Very Hard To Go” and features Mic’s daugther Megan on vocals. Also a member of MGB, is former Tower Of Power alumni, and current Doobie Brothers member Marc Russo. The CD is currently scheduled for release in December of this year, and is currently titled “Moondoggie”. By the way you can catch Mic on the road with Tower Of Power as he has rejoined the band. For more information on the Mic Gillette Band go to www.micgilletteband.com.
The second song is from the band “ReUnion” (from the central valley of California) and is the “TOP” favorite “Willing To Learn”. ReUnion will be realeasing their first CD (currently untitled) sometime in early 2010 and it will have music from Tower Of Power, Cold Blood, plus originals. We understand that Mic Gillette will be a guest artist on the CD as well. For more information on the ReUnion band please go to www.soulfunk4u.com.
We are also glad to have back in our rotation the new TOP cover song from Tony Adamo “This Time It’s Real”. Tony’s music can be found at www.strokeland.com. Lastly, we are continuing to play three songs from Greg Adams new project “East Bay Soul“.
Our complete playlist is listed below and is in artist order, and not order of play.
***Al Green—Let’s Stay Together
