Weekly Dose (8/10/08) August 10, 2008

First song this week is by Lewis Taylor.  It’s called “Stoned Part 1? and it comes from his 2004 album of the same name.  I heard this song on the radio last week and that was the first I had heard of him.  He’s a very talented neo-soul musician/singer.  I read a little about him and [...] Read More…
