1. Lee Fields & The Expressions
Since the very first time I heard the bass line intro to "Ladies" I knew I had struck gold on that late night I scavenged Itunes for music that I could feel in the soul. I thought to myself "who is this man"??? Is it the second coming of James Brown?? I then noticed that the album entitled "My World" was released in June 2009. I couldn't believe it. After downloading and listening to a couple of his tracks on Itunes his tracked called "Ladies" quickly sky rocketed to #1 on Jason's Iphone top 10 for the year 2009 beating out tracks from bands such as The Temper Trap, and MSTRKRFT
2. Mayor Hawthorne and the County
I found Mayer Hawthorne the same day as Lee. I was like a kid at a candy shop that evening. I was a downloading feen, and as fast as I was downloading the songs the more tracks I found that I had to have. Although, I like Lee better both have uniquely different styles that make them equally great. He will be playing the Coachella music festival this April, and it will be an act that I won't miss.
