Gurl, yeah I saw them on Bobby Jones! I recorded it and I listen to it at least four times a week! I love that CD. Their cd dropped last Tuesday. Let me know if you like it!

I love Karen's cd too. Isn't she a phenomenal vocalist or what?! Did you see her on Bobby Jones? She put it down, but I just don't understand what she had on that day!!!

Be safe, Tony! Remember what I told you!

Dang, let me catch up! Umm, yeah, Isaak and Lowell did sing with John. I loved when they would harmonize with John. Anyway...I thought a lot of people were sleep on Men of Standard, but it's good to know they're not!

Tony...where you been?! That 3rd album has been out for a while, but none of them are as good as the first one! I'm still singing "Feeling Like Winter" and "Yeah." Those were my jams.

Who else are y'all listening to? I haven't bought anything new in a minute.
