Here we are with Suede’s first album, released in 1988 on her own label. Is it country? Is it jazz? I am about to find out. We open up the album with the Kenny Loggins track, “Wait A Little While” and Suede does hit the high notes really well, and she definitely does have a... Read More »

The Sleeve: The Liner/Sleeve Notes: None. Personal Review: After a pretty long hiatus, I’m finally back online. And to celebrate, here is another fine record for all y’all. This album opens with the track “I Don’t Even Time” and it seems to have a dancey pop sound to it, like bubblegum pop. Lori has a... Read More »
The Sleeve: The Liner/Sleeve Notes: None. Personal Review: Father Robert White, known for his ridiculously expensive record – “The Reverend in Rhythm” – also, released this little 45 right here.

The Sleeve: The Liner/Sleeve Notes: “PLEASING YOU” is the name of this album. It’s also Mike Williams’ musical destiny. He sings, plays and entertains from his heart.
