I'm a sucker for vintage soul - always have been, always will be, and I've mentioned that a time or two here. It is the basis for almost every piece of music that I truly adore. I listen to things in many genres but I will NOT go to that desert island without my Marvin Gaye, Al Green, Sam Cooke and Bill Withers.

So with that disclaimer, I'll forge ahead with a positive recommendation for the neo-soul meets Carolina beach music found on Jesse Dee's latest - On My Mind/In My Heart.

My review might not be quite as enthusiastic as this one from SFGate - not yet anyway. But I'm pretty sure I can work this into a swank, sunset cocktail hour playlist very soon, and the first track will be Tell Me (Before It's Too Late).
