The Black Joe Lewis "Tell 'Em What Your Name Is!" cd I got last week is really impressive. You gotta hear this cd. It's like James Brown on crack. If that's possible. They ran the singer's vocals through some kind filter, or engineered them somehow. The vocals sound simultaneously far away and in your face at the same time, and also somewhat distorted. It's a little hard to explain (clearly).

My favorite lyric on the cd is in the song Get Yo Shit. The gist is that the singer is consoling his special lady friend who thinks Joe Lewis doesn't love her. She says he never buys her any presents. His response:

"Yes I did, I bought you a box of chicken but I ate it on the way home." Then she asks if he even knows her name. He says, "Yeah, it's Melissa."

"Naw dumbass, it's Roxanne."

Bummer.
