The Lions Los Angeles, California
The LIONS is a unique Jamaican-inspired outfit, the result of an impromptu recording session by members of Breakestra, Connie Price and the Keystones, Rhythm Roots All-Stars, Orgone, Sound Directions, Plant Life, Poetics and Macy Gray (to name a few).
The Lions recommends:
Slappy bass, gut-busting brass, and keys that are so hot you need an oven mitt to touch em. This album is sonic soul food.

Tell Me Something
by Connie Price & The Keystones
If you're looking to mainline some funky grooves, this album has what you need. Hip-hop and R&B merged beautifully. Soup from Jurassic 5 loves it, Ohmega Watts loves it, and so will you.

Like so many others, this came like a bolt out of the blue and, even though it's well before payday, I had to have this astonishing album on vinyl to prove it exists. The feel of the tunes makes me feel like the Impressions do, Curtis Mayfield, the big spaces and instinctive horns and stuff drifting in and out. Great grooves and I can see lots of ghosts nodding along to this with big smiles on their faces. At last!
