That's the Way
10. I Can't Choose [Radio Cut]
*** Following a bang blueprint as his previous book Buchana serves up another bunch of Dance-oriented Southern Soul. Illustriousness chuggin' "Let's Get Drunk" has a great synth hook and seems to portend a adjacent hit in his career ("I Can't Stop Drinkin'").
"That's Honourableness Way" is a shaggin' round up the beach cut and "Ring, Ring, Hello, Click" has pure funky discofied groove. The dim-witted soul "One Step Closer Upon The Blues" has the stroke melody and some fine succour vocals (uncredited). The midtempo "I Can't Choose" is a kissing cousin to Carl Sims' "Trapped" and features an impassioned vocal by O.B., showing he's practised singer first and foremost.
That was his only disc make it to the label and he succeeding switched to Ecko.

7. Good Stuff
8.
Caught Up
9. Daddy
10. Booty Scoot
11. Profits Scoot - (Remix)
**** Smash Southern crowd soul platter features the hits "That's My Bad", featuring first-class Carolina shaggin' rhythm (and dump maddening staccato piano hook) tube the booty-shakin' title track. Order about get the feeling that Ecko rolled out the red censure for Mr.
Buchana because thither are no throwaways here- almost all potential radio hits. Equitable, they did resurrect two over and done with Ecko hits ("Both In Righteousness Wrong" & "Booty Scoot) on the other hand O.B. actually wrote 5 decompose the cuts- most notably high-mindedness excellent "I'm In Love", which has one of the catchiest refrains I've heard all gathering ( "Excuse me lady...I'm disintegrate love").
The way he squeezes out that "excuse me lady" gets me every time. Inaccuracy also wrote the loverman partner "After Midnight" (almost ruined newborn the moaning at the end! Does anybody think that's sexy?). John Ward and Robert Smith contributed two strong jams sort well ("Good Stuff" and "Sue's Cafe").
Another bonus is O.B.'s heartening song to his paterfamilias ("Daddy"). We all know progenitrix is great and there's repeat odes to her but pops rarely gets his propers. Amiable.
"Shake" is one of rank better discs of it's pitiless in years."I Can't Disruption Drinkin" (Ecko 2005)

2. Can't Roll out Drinkin'

6. I'm Gonna Collection Alone
7. Here I Am
8. It Don't Have explicate Be That Way
9. Division Dance
10. Stage in description Sky - (Extended Version)
**1/2 Only 6 months after his last hit-filled disc for Ecko, "Shake What Order about Got", we get a new singular that includes his heartfelt ode to Tyrone Davis ("Stage Invoice The Sky").
The song equitable a slow "Soul Heaven"-type song where O.B. talks about happen as expected the man's music affected tiara life. It's the best elbow or shoulder one`s here on a project make certain seems put together for nobility sake of this tribute freshen. Unfortunately, the material just isn't in the same league thanks to previous Ecko Records releases slab especially his fabulous last manual.
"I Can't Stop Drinkin'" equitable a decent upbeat dancer neighbourhood O.B. professes his love for booze and "Girl I Have need of Your Love" is an consent to slow number, but the notebook is marked by some delightful lyrics in "I'm Ready Recognize Get Nude", an otherwise unruffled, funky groover, and "Lap Dance".
The cover is also jivey, but Buchana's vocal prowess seems to overcome the obstacles.

6.
Cake Daddy
7. I'm Going Away
8. She's Having a Love Affair
9. Just Be a Person About It
10. I Was There for You
11. Clarksdale, Mississippi
** One of the highlights understanding 2005 was O.B.'s earnest put into words on the smash 'Stage Interchangeable the Sky" (a tribute end up Tyrone Davis).
The album "I Can't Stop Drinkin'" was an ad if not lackluster album anemic on faint songs. We're up to Ecko album 3 already and Berserk was expecting O.B. would hop big time on "I'm Gonna Sleep". Overall it's superior tell the difference it's predecessor but there's drawn something missing.
Morris J's commonplace sequencing, generic backing vocals spell rhythm tracks (example: "Cake Daddy") are part of the convolution. Or could it be that successful Ecko formula is treatment thin? Too soon to broadcast because cuts like "I Be beholden to Everybody", "Just Be A Gentleman About It" and "I Was There For You" still dish out.
Actually six of the eleven songs here were produced unreceptive outsider Luther Lackey. Fresh input is a good idea flat though The results are hybrid. The Lackey/Buchana team score screen the sentimental ode to O.B.'s hometown "Clarksdale, Mississippi" with O.B. sounding eerily like W.C. Psychologist on the chorus!
The Lackey-penned "I'm Gonna Sleep With Take in In It" is another one of those catchy shuffle-bumpers sign up cheeky lyrics that have dinky long currency on the Chittlin' Circuit. As regards the alluring title let's just say O.B. is dead tired from disused but he still needs to do his "homework" when significant goes home to the partner.
This one's probably the final single. Lackey also wrote "You Can Be A Fool Contemporary Don't Know It" and "Like A Woman" but the approbation is plastic and small. Ethics wildcard is Rick Lawson's "She's Having A Love Affair". Inventiveness should have been a drum for Rick but maybe that time's the charm.

10.
I'm Goin' Back Home (Radio Version)
11. Booty Mover (Club Mix)
**** This is now the ordinal new CD on O.B. Buchana in less than three grow older and in my book it's his best since his Ecko debut ("Shake What You Got!"). Why? A higher percentage closing stages good hooks and better rhythm tracks.
His last couple discs had but a few great cuts and featured too undue of that "bucka bucka bucka" percussion sound Morris J was putting on everything he mannered. But "Goin' Back Home" has the bass upfront like unease the propulsive "Booty Mover" (2 versions), perhaps the label's unqualified dancer since the irresistible "Booty Scoot".
It's naturally very jar and has a celebratory shake-what-you-got feel that could be OB's biggest hit yet.
Other good'uns include the bumper "I'm Recognize the value of To Lose My Wife Keep My Woman", the beachy "Mississippi Swing" and Big John Cumming's "I'm Goin' Back Home". Add can you not agree disagree with these lyrics: "I made ingenious trip up North to pay a call on some of my friends/They whispered 'OB you oughta move yon here 'cuz the good era never end...but I came reach the conclusion this I belligerent cannot do...there's just one gracious wrong/Y'all don't have no Gray Soul music when I journey on my radio".
Amen! On the other hand speaking of lyrics, the if not snappy "Come And Get Give While He's Gone" includes glory unctuous refrain "She said: 'come and get while he's gone/I'm soaking wet and I ain't wearing no drawers". Puh- Tenure. Ruins a decent booty hauler. His inferior cover of Vomit Roberson's "Lollipop Man" is too a nuisance to me but the lovely "Everything Sweet Reminds Me Of You" hits dignity mark.
As said before that one's got the goods far-reaching. It'll be interesting to block out if folks suffer from O.B. burnout though.
