"Bustin’ Outta’ The Ghetto" A Recent Review, Written by John Davis "Roots Man" (Montreal) August 6, 2006. Fantastic Unknown Funk/Soul Lp from Late 60's early 70's. A GREAT LP finally issued on CD! Half the songs on this disc are super funky James Brown/Maceo style funk and the other half are groovy southern soul ballads. Not bluesy at all but down home original soul-drenched songs that keep you humming them all day long! I have waited 10 years for this lp. If you like southern soul a la Bobby Patterson, Tommie Young, Roscoe Shelton- you will freak on this! If you just like good soulful singing and funky tunes -buy It too! I cannot express how much I dig this! *******SPECIAL REPORT******* AIM INTERNATIONAL "AIM RECORDS" OF NSW, AUSTRALIA. IS RELEASING ALL OF MOODY SCOTT'S RECORDINGS FROM THE "SOUND STAGE 7/MONUMENT RECORDS" COLLECTIONS FEATURING THE HISTORICAL 60S &70S MUSIC ERA. THE CD WILL FEATURE SONGS PERFORMED BY MOODY. NEVER HEARD AND NEVER RELEASED ON THE SOUND STAGE 7 LABEL. THE CD WILL FEATURE SOME 14 SONGS PERFORMED BY MOODY. Mr. "Bust Outta the Ghetto." The first-ever collection of work by Moody Scott -- a lesser-known southern soul singer, but one of the key artists who recorded for the Sound Stage Seven label at the end of the 60s! As you might guess from the title, Moody's got a sound that' s often slightly funky -- a groove that's a bit hipper and more righteous than some of the more standard southern soul of Sound Stage Seven -- and which has really made his funky 45s a favorite of collectors over the years! The 14 track set is a real revelation, as it's the first time that Moody's work on scattered singles has been brought together in one place -- finally giving full due to this overlooked soul talent. Titles include "I Don't Dig No Phoney (parts 1 & 2)", "May I Turn You On", "We've Got To Save It (parts 1 & 2)", "Groovin Out On Life", "A Man In Need Is A Fool", "Bustin Out Of The Ghetto (parts 1 & 2)", "I'll Find My Sunshine", "Beauty Soul & Style", "Satisfy My Hunger", and "To Lay Down Beside You". THE CD WAS RELEASED IN APRIL. AND IS BEING DISTRIBUTED THROUGHOUT EUROPE AS OF THIS WRITING. MOODY WILL BE TOURING THIS SUMMER TO SUPPORT THE CD. TO THE GLEE OF ALL HIS FANS THROUGHOUT EUROPE. HERE'S AN ARTICLE RE: THE NE W CD IN THE "VILLAGE VOICE" IN NEW YORK "Deep, Dapper Blues for Gamblers, Casino and Otherwise" Moody Scott by Edd Hurt June 13th, 2006 2:55 PM Moody Scott "Simply Moody" CDH records "Bustin' Out of the Ghetto" Aim records Before you decide to take that casino vacation package and head to Mississippi for a gambling weekend, you might consult Moody Scott's masterful version of George Jackson's "Last Two Dollars." Moody's "We Gotta Bust Outta the Ghetto," brims with cautionary tales?the title track exhorts Moody's hometown of Hammond, Louisiana (as well as Argentina and South Africa), to clean up the drugs and violence?but "Last Two Dollars" provides a glimpse into a joyous, fucked-up, and desperate reality that more Americans should contemplate: "Lady at the casino/She lost all her money/She said, 'Don't feel sorry/Don't feel sorry, honey.' " So Moody lends her two bucks, and what does the lady do? "One goes for the bus fare/The other for the jukebox/Hear me some blues," she explains. Simply Moody modernizes Deep South blues as effectively as anything on the Malaco label in the last 20 years?it's a lively, New Orleans?accented hybri d. The similarly titled "Bustin' Out of the Ghetto" collects funk sides he cut for Nashville's Sound Stage 7 label in 1968, and proves Scott understands ready mades as well as casino culture. Both records reveal a performer as eternally youthful as Sharon Jones, and a lot more dapper.

"Monterey Bay Blues Festival 2005" Monterey Bay Blues Festival 2005 On the cool weekend of June 24, 25, and 26, 2005, the Monterey Bay Blues Festival celebrated its twentieth year of keeping the blues alive. Grounds passes allowed patrons to enjoy the many acts on the two outer stages. The hard-core fans in the Main Arena were treated with images of the performers from two jumbo screens set up on either end of the stage along with an improved sound system this year. Friday night's festivities featured a seventies Soul Jam. Remember Jimmie "J.J." Walker from the hit television show Good Times? Well, there he was emceeing the show, looking sharp in a blue suit and doing a light comedy routine along with his introductions. The audience embraced the memories evoked by The Stylistics, The Chi-Lites, The Delphonics, The Persuaders, Peaches and Herb (with a new Peaches), and Heatwave. "Boogie Night" performed by Heatwave got an enormous response from those who fondly remembered this disco-era tune. It was nostalgia time, and soul devotees got their money's worth this Friday evening. Meanwhile, on the outer two stages, the music flowed. The group Off the Hook held forth on the Garden Stage with a set that was heavily influenced with R&B and funk. On the President's Stage, Ms. Peaches in a bright red dress was a standout blues shouter backed up by the VIP Band. Ms. Peaches, who hails from Dallas, revealed that she had been a backup singer with the late Johnny Taylor, who had encouraged her to go solo. Her inventive rendition of "Big Leg Woman" was superb. The next set on this stage was blues singer Willie G who has a mean blues yodel and knows how to energize a crowd. Backed up by the Sweet Meat horns of Carl Green and John Middleton, this was an outstanding exhibition of good downhome blues. Saturday morning's program on the Main Stage featured the winner of the fourth annual Battle of Blues contest, Big Mo and the Full Moon Band, who entertained the arriving audience with a blend of rock-blues. On the President's Stage, Las Vegas-based vocalist Moody Scott exhibited great stage presence in his set and a repertoire which leaned heavily on standard blues tunes. He put a different twist on "Everyday I Have the Damn Blues" and closed out with a funky hip-hop tune entitled "Bustin' Out of the Ghetto." This was an intriguing performance by a real veteran of the blues. Moody Scott Michael Hill "MOODY SCOTT", "JOHN LEE HOOKER JR."
