Rebirth "Stray Away" // THIS JOURNEY IN LP (2005)
The idea of the traditional music band is all but dead in the music industry now, but it's especially dead in R&B music. Earth, Wind & Fire? Parliament Funkadelic? Mint Condition? Everybody playing an instrument? Not going to happen today. It's just too expensive to pay 5 parts when the lead singer can just go solo and have a back up band. Fortunate for us, there are a lot of small labels that are giving a voice to new artists, including some great R&B bands.
Rebirth is a sextet out of Los Angeles that has a Brand New Heavies / Rotary Connection sort of vibe (which is a good thing). This was another Taunja suggestion that I jumped on a couple years ago (honestly, she needs her own music blog). Listening to this album, I know Rebirth puts on a good live show, similar to Fertile Ground.
