I am hibernating here; it’s too hot to do much … But this song needs to be shared!

Lee Fields -- "You Made A New Man Out Of Me" and "Meet Me Tonight"
Soultaker's last Mixcloud post reminded me of this great performer. I've blogged about him a few times, though, starting in 2009.
Lee Fields' music is funky through and through and James Brown's influence is quite obvious. That's why Lee's nickname is Little JB. A great example of Fields' funk supreme is You Made A New Man Out Of Me from his 2002 Album Problems.
Meet Me Tonight, however, leans more in the direction of Deep/Southern Soul, and I l.o.v.e it.

Pool Party 2022
We have record temps here in Texas. I stay holed up in the house all day long, but when that crazy old sun finally gets ready for bed I am outside by the pool. The music is playing and the world is alright again ... It doesn't matter if there's no one else but me around. A pool party doesn't need many people -- me and my music is all it takes. And there goes ol' Raggedy having a party.
