Ed--June 16

I caught an interview on NPR yesterday (listen to this first) with Ryan Shaw.
He's a 26-year old kid that has an album that sounds like it could have come out of Memphis or Detroit in '68. I was intrigued.
I just happened to be around the corner from Best Buy; ran in and picked up the CD, This is Ryan Shaw, and have been listening to it all day.
I'm a fool for a groove, anyway. This one has some great production, plus, the guy can really sing. You'll hear a couple of his originals on his Web site, but he also does some exemplary covers, my favorite Jackie Wilson's I'll Be Satisfied and Wilson Pickett's I Found a Love (you'll be able to hear these as long as NPR has them archived) .
Gio, I'm going to go out on a limb (about three inches) and say you're gonna want to go out and buy this one.

You had me at "groove."
I've already put in a friend request at MySpace and bookmarked his website and the NPR page. And he's touring with Joss Stone! Huthh! Good God! One to watch, for sure.
