Bobby Harden

It's Science of Soul time once again with this week's Featured Artist being the New York city based Bobby Harden. His new album " Rivers of Soul" is a pretty solid affair with; REAL musicians, great songs delivered, and with real soul and quality production. I think you will enjoy this. I also have new music this week from Brian Wilson, nephew of the legendary Charlie Wilson, and a killer new single from James Rouse & Buttered Biscuits "Give It A Chance", a track that's getting rave reviews from soul folks.

A revisit to Paul Cannon's excellent album " Love & Heartbreak" is also due, plus a classy new release from Brian Owen and let us not forget Detroit's own Bobby Helmz his current hit "Changes" just sounds better everytime I hear it. Add all the old school classics we love from the likes of The Temptations, O'Jays, Impressions who Incidentally are being inducted into the R&B Hall of Fame in June in Detroit and some names you just might have forgotten and I think we got you covered.

Ok it's music time so sit back enjoy and be sure to tell a friend about The Science of Soul.
