Featured Artist this week is Terisa Griffin, who's new album "Revival of Soul" is truly amazing, the Chicago Heights lady has delivered a masterpiece of sensual soul with lyrics that will touch your heart. As always I have selected 3 tracks (Could'a just played the entire album) I am sure you will enjoy.
Also taking this opportunity to introduce you to the music of Vernon Hicks, whose a great friend of mine. 'V' has been a prolific session man and toured with some of the biggest names in Soul over the last 20 years or so, and he has at last brought his dream to fruition by completing a solo album. He's been joined by the crem de la creme of Los Angeles musicians with vocalists including Jeff Robinson from Loose Ends. Thanks to Vernon I get an exclusive sneak preview and will be sharing 2 tracks from the forthcoming album with you.
