This week a gentleman that I have the utmost respect for is my Featured Artist; Mr Randy Darbonne, from Lake Charles. Randy spent many years living in San Francisco before moving back home to care for his elderly Mom  - Mrs Darbonne done raised a fine Son! I know the struggles Randy went through to complete this project as well possessing a great vocal range he is an accomplished song writer and draws much of his inspiration from everyday life. Pay close attention to "Got A Call," that song probably tells you more about the man than I ever could. Randy's style is smooth but with that Southern style swag. I feel this, his third solo album is his strongest yet and with opening track "Voodoo Child" is a smash waiting to happen. If you remember I played it a couple of weeks back ahead of the album "The Truth" being released. Three tracks in this weeks show and featuring others over the coming weeks .Show your support for Randy Darbonne "The Truth".

Bill & Johnny Bristol

Today's show -  I've music from the new albums by: Maysa, John Legend and C Robert Walker, two of which have already been Featured Artists over the past few weeks, so it's a usual mix of new nearly new and classic that seems to work so well. In the Gospel Spot we have the late Johnny Bristol who spent many years at Motown working as a staff writer and producer before having a string of hits himself in the 1970's and 80's, though not often associated with Gospel music, he made some beautifully crafted songs of that genre late on in his career, I interviewed Johnny back in the day and  it's one I could maybe dust off and post on the SOS site at some future point.

Music time.... and don't forget to share the shows links and give the gift of music (link the love). [Bridge listeners click 4 Podcast]
