52. "I love it too."
In response to In response to 51


  

          

As much as I stress "songwriting" it's not necessarily about having a lot of varied words... it's more about just the grooves and riffs and everything else having some sort of structure and direction... which this has.

I just don't care as much for all kinds of meandering jamming and grooving (though I do like that sometimes too... just don't "respect" it as much, I guess!)

Joy Nwosu does have some other stuff... I'll rip one of her albums for you. I think you'd probably appreciate Mary Afi Usua (another classically-trained singer who incidentally made a great album with Dan Satch Joseph)

I never copped that Nigeria Special 2 either... For a long time I didn't even know it existed! And a while ago the label gave me the opportunity to get multiple comp copies of anything in their catalog and I forgot to ask for it!
