Lianne La Havas - A long list of tasty favorite video picks of this gifted one.

Lianne La Havas is collaborating with Prince!

Lianne La Havas is one of my most favorite emerging artists out there.  It's very nice to see her two part film titled Elusive & Gone is presently #4 and holding on the MusicTelevision.Com Top 10 Most Viewed Posts list. (see the sidebar on the right side of this page)

If you are already a fan of Lianne's, you'll be glad to know that the artist, formerly and presently known as Prince, has sought her out to be part of one of his projects.  He is taking his band, 3rd Eye Girl, to do some secret concerts.  Prince did a press conference at Lianne's house of all places!  The details are all very mysterious, but something cool is brewing, that is for sure.

Heartbreak and an ex-boyfriend is what drove Lianne La Havas to pick up that now famous second hand guitar, find herself and write songs from her heart. The man who broke her heart should be thanked!  For, even while in abstentia, he is at least partially responsible for helping generate such great musical artistry.  Oh, how love and heartbreak can inspire genius!

Her impeccable original song stylings and voice are beautiful. Her unique guitar picking and strumming is part of her originality that is inspiring many guitarists who happen upon her sound. She is still way too under the radar in my opinion, but she really has got a majorly loyal and solid international fan base that keeps growing organically.

She writes the vast majority of her song repertoire and only rarely does an occasional cover, quite beautifully I must say.  See the great live cover song by Lianne at the In The Woods Barn Session in the 6th video  below where she covers a song by Little Dragon titled Twice.

In describing Lianne La Havas, Beautiful is a word that cannot be overly emphasized here on every level from her music, to her poise, to her genuine authenticity. Enjoy!

Here is a live take and scaled down version of the song above, "Is Your Love Big Enough". It's just Lianne singing with her guitar and Joss Stone sitting next to her grooving out on the French TV show TARATATA. Lianne La Havas is an inspired artist with "it".

Nicky Thomas performs Is It Because I'm Black? (Live at Edinburgh Music Festival in Scotland - 1973)

The song "Is It Because I'm Black" was originally written by Syl Johnson, Glenn Watts and James L. Jones. Here is another heavy heavy performance of the song by the late Nicky Thomas, who had much success as a reggae artist in the 1970's.

A little more love for Lady (the band)

Lady features vocalists Nicole Wray and Terri Walker

Must give some love with one more plug for some excellent soul artists that made our year whole last year...

With a thick old school R&B sound living and making it in the here and now, soul divas ‎Terri Walker and Nicole Wray created a new duo that they call Lady.

Hopefully you too will love how the band and their label have made Lady's music and remixes available in WAV, MP3, CD and Vinyl LP's directly from Lady's page at Truth & Soul Records.  I personally love buying WAV files because they sound so much better than MP3 files, basically being the same quality as the CD without the burden the Disc. It's nice that the band and the label offer WAV as well as the VINYL :)

Great Performances from Eric Clapton's Crossroads Guitar Festival

Crossroads Guitar Festival 2013 - Madison Square Garden

Below are just a handful of excellent full length songs and very tasty performances pulled from the Eric Clapton's most recent Crossroads Guitar Festival of 2013.  In fact, the DVD's from each of the four Crossroads Guitar Festivals held so far are all incredibly well done and worth the watching time and time again.  Eric Clapton handpicks phenomenal upcoming as well as well established greats, the best of the best, to share the stage with he and his musical peers.

The first festival was in 2004 and has occurred every three years through to 2013 so far. The festival benefits the The Crossroads Centre, Antigua. The centre was founded by Eric Clapton in 1997 to provide quality, affordable treatment for alcohol and other drug dependencies to a community that greatly needed, but lacked such a facility. This 32-bed centre, located on the island of Antigua, has become recognized as an international Centre of Excellence for addiction treatment.
