Who is Dave Hollister?????

Thu, 30 Aug 2001 09:42:30 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author T-Hall -

So you've never heard of David Hollister? You wouldn't be the only one. He is still a relative unknown outside of R&B circles. He hasn't scored a pop crossover hit yet. Even so, I can say with relative confidence that if you've listened to R&B with...

In The Wee Small Hours Of The Morning (Musical Memories Write-Off)

Wed, 22 Aug 2001 10:51:42 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author T-Hall - Let me first start this epinion by giving my sincere apologies for being a straggler with this. I am very appreciative of the invite to this write off and hope I represent it well. Now on with the show....

Initially, my reaction when I heard...

Forecast: Partly cloudy....with some Sunshine Anderson

Sun, 15 Jul 2001 01:14:36 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author T-Hall - Don't you just hate those days when the weather will not make up it's mind if it's gonna be sunny or gray and miserable? Living in the Great Northwest for the last 7 years, I've dealt with the average persons lifetime of cloudy, gray days. We...

A peak at the thought process of todays rapper

Fri, 3 Nov 2000 20:15:44 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author T-Hall - By the time 1996 rolled around, Hip Hop was in quandary of sorts. The 2 biggest names, Tupac and Biggie, in rap were embroiled in a feud that engulfed both of the coasts they claimed to represent and almost alienated the outside world including the south...

Jodeci finally masters the dance track

Wed, 18 Oct 2000 17:08:04 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author T-Hall - We live in day in age were people love the jack of all trades mentality. I love to watch and play basketball and I see it in the sport all the time. It used to be that you had a specialist for each position. A point guard to run the offense, a shooting...

Pull up a chair and taste some "SOUL FOOD"

Tue, 3 Oct 2000 15:34:03 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author T-Hall - I'd like to welcome you to Soul Food this evening. I'll be your server for the night. For about the next 60 minutes or so you'll be sampling the hip hop culinary skills of our master chefs, the Goodie Mob. They each excel at various aspects of your...

Introducing Playa......

Wed, 20 Sep 2000 16:44:24 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author T-Hall - The majority of R&B artists today have very little to do with the production of their albums beyond the vocals. This is fine, as there are some exquisite vocalists in R&B, but it sometimes leaves the genre open to criticism from fans of other...

The best R&B group you've never heard of.

Fri, 8 Sep 2000 21:43:35 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author T-Hall - One of the most intriguing things about music and the whole music scene is that, unlike other forms of entertainment where the cream almost always seems to rise to the top, good musicians and singers can go relatively unnoticed. Such is the case with...

Jodeci takes a step backward

Thu, 7 Sep 2000 16:15:00 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author T-Hall - The anticipation surrounding this album was almost unbearable. Over the course of the past 2 years ('91-'93) Jodeci had developed into an R&B powerhouse. They had enjoyed a triple platinum debut with "Forever my lady", gained national...

A solid sophomore effort

Sat, 2 Sep 2000 08:41:26 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author T-Hall - Sophomore albums can be tricky. All of a sudden there are expectations to be met. This can be particularly difficult if the first album met with any type of success. This is where we find Donell Jones. His first album was moderately successful with a...

The progression continues...

Tue, 22 Aug 2000 21:54:23 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author T-Hall - Think about Michael Jordan at the top of his career. He carried out his work with chilling precision, as close to basketball perfection as you can come. Whether you loved or hated Michael, whether you loved or hated the Bulls, whether you loved or hated...

A good deal gone bad

Wed, 16 Aug 2000 18:54:47 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author T-Hall - Let me first preface my review by saying the phone I had was a return. The store told me the phone had been returned by the guy after he had for only a day or so because he wanted to get a Nokia. They offered me the phone for a discounted price and a $30...

The album that sent R&B in a new direction

Tue, 15 Aug 2000 17:51:42 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author T-Hall - I can still remember the early spring day when I first heard the track "Forever my Lady". The song was amazing to me with it's haunting intro of chimes, K-Ci's voice echoing in. The guy on the radio couldn't pronounce the name and come to find...

A noble attempt...but falls short.

Sun, 6 Aug 2000 16:32:55 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author T-Hall - Talk about 180 degree turns. These cant be the same boys who gave us the incredible beat, but vulgar lyrics of "Knocking Boots", can they? Incredibly enough, they are. The album is almost remorseful of their past albums(rightfully so as bad as...

A lesson in progression as an artist

Sun, 6 Aug 2000 05:51:23 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author T-Hall - I've hemmed and hawed around it long enough. My wife asked me "When are you going to review Outkast?". She knows the immense respect I've got for these guy's musically. To this point I've done a few other epinions, but NONE about what I...

The perfect fit

Fri, 4 Aug 2000 16:01:25 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author T-Hall - I've never owned a completely tailored made suit, but I have had suits tailored to fit me (I'm 6'6-they don't make suits for us ready to go much) and it's the best feeling to put it on and have it fit perfectly. That's what the Mista album will sound...

If you like relaxing music, this is a must!

Fri, 4 Aug 2000 11:42:00 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author T-Hall - Smooth as marble. That's the best way to describe the 2nd album from Jon B. Jon hit the scene back in '95 with his debut "Bonafide", although he was not new to the music scene, having written songs for CMB, Toni Braxton and others. That may...

An above average debut

Wed, 2 Aug 2000 17:36:15 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author T-Hall - I travel an hour each way to work 5 days a week. Although I do listen to the radio some, most of this time is spent listening to CD's. It is during this time that I came to really enjoy this album. Most of the time I change at least 2-3 CD's, sometimes...
