This is the week of February 18th, 2008
The Isley Brothers give us 16 slow jamz. The Coup give us street reportage. And Obama gives us hope ;>). I couldn’t resist saying that even though what we get is three songs promoting Obama featuring The Mighty Sparrow, The Bergevin Brothers with Reverend Pat Wright & The Total Experience Gospel Choir, and Will.I.Am with a huge cast of supporting artists. Be inspired to act.
