| Ted Hawkins | Green-Eyed Girl | The Next Hundred Years | Beautiful and passionate, sung by a man who lived in a sad time where a black man singing a love song to a green-eye girl could find himself on the wrong side of a self-righteous mob. |
| Ted Hawkins | The Lost Ones | Watch Your Step | A Sam Cooke influence vocal singing what amounts to a child's horror story. A single mother is dying, the medicine is gone, the cupboard is empty, there's no phone and her children don't know what to do. Hawkins, singing as the oldest, paints a child in panic as every avenue a young boy can think of is blocked. |
| Ted Hawkins | Bring it on Home Daddy | Watch Your Step | I only just discovered Hawkins a few weeks ago. I am now grabbing everything he has ever recorded. It's been a long time since I have encountered an artist previously unknown to me who was that great. |
| Barrington Levy | Sister Carol | Englishman | Re-release of classic reggae album introduced this lovely ballad to me. |
| Sharon Jones & the DAP-Kings | 100 Days, 100 Nights | 100 Days, 100 Nights | In the first 30 seconds of this song Jones and co. prove what a fraud Amy Winehouse is. |
| Bettye Lavette | Before the Money Came | Before the Money Came | In her latest single Lavette comes right out and tells those American Idol and Winehouse fans what they could learn from the over 50-likes of Sharon Jones and herself. |
| Roger Clyne | Plenty | No More Beautiful World | Latest release |
| Rilo Kiley | Silver Lining | Under the Blacklight | Recent release |
