Well, lo and behold I *really* dug that Oscar Brown music, shoot I even remembered a couple of them cuts from hearing them as a child. I don't know if it's because he kept his songs short, sweet and to the point - or if it's because he told a lil' story in his songs, but I definitely enjoyed his music. ...another eye opened up.
