Eddie Levert - I Still Have It - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

2016 album from soul legend. As the lead singer of preeminent Philly soul group the O'Jays, Eddie Levert has handled emotion-soaked ballads, sweat-inducing dance numbers, and thought-provoking message songs for over 50 years. Not many artists can be considered Icon's but Eddie Levert certainly fits that mold. Blakbyrd Entertainment presents the legend, Eddie Levert, who's back with the classic sound that only he can deliver, with Did I Make You Go Ooh.

Music in Continuous Motion, Bill Orcutt's latest entry into his 21st-century repertoire of quartet guitar music, pointedly steps away from the cut-and-paste constructivism of Music for Four Guitars into a sonic stratum that's yearningly melodic, resolutely human, and built for performance.

Much of the time, his launchpad is obvious (The Four Louies, How to Rescue Things); with others, it's intentionally obscured. When recruiting me to write about each , he might send me a clue (InchThis is a bridge pickup record more than a neck pickup record,Inch Orcutt helpfully offered for Music for Four Guitars). Although any given dispatch is a potential red herring, up until now, each has implied an Oulipian conceit (however obtuse) that at least somewhat determines the outcome. Thus, I was a bit surprised by his statement on Music in Continuous Motion-InchThe mystery of how [the] same person, same process, same gear produces different results.Inch When pressed, he elaborated that the record features Inchno triplets,Inch something I've yet to count out to determine for myself.Whatever overarching form the recording process may have mapp
