Joss Stone - Soul Sessions

Saw her on the Kennedy Center Honors tribute to James Brown. Couldn't believe the emotion/soul she sang with. Amazing voice.

CD

I wouldn't associate the discounts of this album with Joss's quality of performance or number of discs that she will sell. I bought my wife's copy of Norah Jones' "Come Away with Me" album at Target when it first came out for $8.99, also. I think we all know that Norah ended up selling a few copies of that album and it is a very popular album.

O/T - Just out of curiosity, has anyone seen "Standing in the Shadows of Motown"? I was contemplating buying the 2 DVD set, based on reviews I've read (only $12 at a local store going out of business - although I think it's cheaper at Amazon. Still - instant gratification, you know).

It's a documentary of the "Funk Brothers" - basically the session musicians behind all things early Motown. Combines interviews with the bros themselves and various musicians, dramatic "re-enactments", and live concert footage of a reunion concert with various artists (Joan Osborne, Chaka Khan, Ben Harper, Bootsy Collins among others) covering Motown standards with the Funk Bros in the background.

Anyone care to comment on it?

I've seen bits and pieces and I would say that it is worth having.
