Black Music

Description

Chocolate Genius- Black MusicAmazon.com Marc Anthony Thompson is an insightful singer/songwriter who put out a couple of exceptional solo albums during the 1980s. In his Chocolate Genius alter ego, Thompson's dark, stark confessionals are embellished by a crew of talented Manhattan musicians that includes guitarist Marc Ribot, multi-instrumentalist Melvin Gibbs, percussionist Dougie Bowne, and keyboard whiz John Medeski. With a wonderfully expressive voice reminiscent of Bobby Womack, Sly Stone, and even Barry White, Thompson lyrically explores hangovers, his mother's Alzheimer's disease, and, of course, broken hearts. While he reveals a particularly personal perspective, his songs are filled with wisdom, humor, and redemption. Songs such as "Stupid Again" and "Half a Man" beg for compassion while retaining dignity. Tasteful, tormented, and exquisitely tender, Black Music is a bona fide gem. --Mitch Myers Product Description Import pressing of their 1998 album that's out of print domestically. V2.
