To end today's output, we leave you with another band that might/might not get heard in South Carolina: an English outfit called One eskimO... Yes the capitalization is correct. They're kind of a Portishead-type acoustic trip-hoppy band, although they sound much more soulful.
Made up of founder/singer/ guitarist Kristian Leontiou, drummer Adam Falkner, bassist Jamie Sefton, and guitarist Peter Rinaldi, their current hit, 'Kandi', is a great remake of the semi-obscure song 'He Called Me Baby' - originally recorded by Patsy Cline in 1963, shortly before her death, and rerecorded by both Candi Staton in 1971 and Charlie Rich in 1974... In fact, they sampled Staton's voice on the chorus, giving the song a haunting, back and forth feel between a man and the woman who no longer loves him... Pretty deep stuff.
We suggest listening to this after work is over, and you're ready to relax with a nice drink, and maybe a doobie as well - not that we do that stuff anymore. If we did, this is what we'd do it to. Hope you enjoy it, and we'll be back on Wednesday most likely....
