Review – Let My Peoples Dance

From the State of Alabama come Rev. Bubba D Liverance & The Cornhole Prophets with this collection of original tunes than range from reverence to irreverence. First up is the title track, a horn laden tune that the dancers can shag to, but is really suited for a good Tush Push line dance. The radio friendly “That’s What You Do” comes up next followed by the upbeat jump tune “My Baby’s A Seafood Platter”. No reason for the radio DJ’s who may want to spin this one to fret, as there is also a radio edit of this fast stepper included on the CD. The rocking “Ain’t No American Idol” is next, followed by “Didn’t We Love”,

Review – Island Soul by Rick Strickland

One of the most talented artists in Beach Music today is Rick Strickland. Not only did he write every tune on his second solo CD, he also produced, arranged, engineered and mixed this project on KHP Music. “Bubba White’s” leads off this twelve-song ensemble of melodic poetry. This driving dance tune is sure to be one that will find favor on radio and in the clubs. Next, you can slow it down a bit with “Love The Night Away”, a nice smoothie. “I’m Happy” starts off with a testimony of love then gets into a nice dance groove. Some great guitar work greets our ears in “Best Love”, another smoothie.

Review – Forever Summer II

Not being a company to rest on their laurels, KHP Music has released this fifteen-track compilation that has some of the best beach, boogie and soul music these ears have heard. I don’t have a crystal ball, but it’s not hard to predict that this CD could easily spawn several Top 10 and possibly #1 tunes. “All The Good Times” is the latest from Lia and The Wave and it kicks off this project. “That’s My Story” from Cracked Ice, featuring shared lead vocals of Brent Carter (formerly with Tower of Power) and Susan D has started making it on the air waves and in the clubs. The Holiday Band

Jim Quick CBMA Poem

Jim does a poem summing up the year in Beach Music every year at the CBMA Industry Awards…at times he has done it remotely,. This year he was able to do it in person thanks to friends that were willing to fly him to his gig in Nags Head that evening.

Thanks to Paul Fine, Willie C and Ocean Drive Happens for all the efforts to get this thing online for the time it was there.

Apparently YouTube removed the video for some reason.

Its been added to on Google Video
