Lee Fields & The Expressions - Honey Dove

When I first heard Lee Fields & The Expressions, I was under the impression that they were a soul group from the 1960s or 1970s. Little did I know that they are a neo-soul group that just burst onto the scene with their first album: My World.

I was introduced to "Ladies" by my brother over at Fine Young Casuals, who by the way is blessed with dashing good looks and an excellent electronic music blog. Just a few weeks later, I find myself digging around Youtube for some more Lee Fields tracks and I stumbled across a couple of gems. While "Ladies" is without a doubt my favorite of his tracks, I am in love with the My World in its entirety.

In my digging, I came across a true gem of a Jingle Jam. "Honey Dove" has the classic ballad style with a super sweet guitar playing in the background. It reminds me of that old school sound that guys like Otis Redding helped make popular.

Mayer Hawthorne - Green Eyed Love

We are back with Mayer Hawthorne, once again. Last time we brough you "I Wish it Would Rain" which was a rendition of the Temptations original recording, also titled "I Wish it Would Rain." However, this time we are going to go with what got me into Mayer Hawthorne. Just make sure that when you play "Green Eyed Love" that  the lady you are with actually has green eyes.

While I thoroughly enjoy the original version of the song, I cannot help but listen to the Classixx remix every now and again. Take a listen to the "Green Eyed Love - Classixx Remix", it is definitely worth a listen. Another great Classixx and Hawthorne collaboration is "No Strings." If you are not familiar with the Classixx, then you had better acquaint yourself. I heard about them over @ Fine Young Casuals. If you do not follow FYC, then you are a moron. Not everything there is a jingle jam, but it definitely features some of the freshest electronic music out there.
