There is so much of it that I could start anywhere. Most people would say to
start with James Taylor Quartet (JTQ), Brand New Heavies, Incognito, Ronnie
Jordan and the rebirth of the cool albums. One of the classics is the Young
Disciples "Road to Freedom" album. There aren't many albums that can match it
out today. One that got away is by a band called Kalima a Manchester, based band
whose first and only album that I know "Feeling Fine" is also excellent. It does
not match the young disciples but there is a lot of variation on the album.

I could go on forever but there was a series of records/CDs on the Ubiquity
label "Home Cookin'", "Mo Cookin'" and "Still Cookin'" which have some excellent
stuff on them. Anything featuring Fishbelly Black is also very safe and
guaranteed to get you rocking. For stuff released this year I am not the best
person to advise you but there are others out there who will.

Good luck,
Winston....
