{"product_id":"otis-jr-houston-america","title":"Otis Jr Houston- America","description":"\u003cp\u003eVinyl LP pressing. Otis Houston Jr. Recorded the songs for America in three locations around Harlem and the Bronx in 2006, the year the album was originally self-released. Makeshift studios that no longer exist provide a telling context for his autobiographical storytelling. Prerecorded beats made by studio owners were picked based on which suited his cadence laden poetry best and often-times on America the songs repeat, with different lyrics, transforming themselves. Houston Jr., a raconteur and quick-witted wordsmith has so much to say, that when there is a groove, he doesn't want to let it go, but rather float around and experiment. Influenced by Sam Cooke, Otis Redding, Marvin Gaye and the like, his strong voice and natural ability to use slogans give this album a cunning stance. Juxtaposed by the highly visible time stamp of mid-aughts DIY R\u0026amp;B production \"America\" sounds sometimes like worlds colliding, smooth improvisations, quick turnarounds and soul bearing truths.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTrack List\u003c\/p\u003e\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSoul Brother\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e The Children\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Me\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e One More River To Cross\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Who's The Fool\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e This Real Man Black Cherokee\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e My Books I Read\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e The Thang\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Sugar Ray Get Out Of My Way\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Thanking The Lord\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e I Like Where I Stay\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e AMERICA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e My Name And My Word\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Red-Yellow-Black-White\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e  ","brand":"mysite","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58395248558405,"sku":"7.95854E+11","price":4.2,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1047\/8583\/8405\/files\/3772905-2530898.jpg?v=1782555275","url":"https:\/\/terravduk.com\/products\/otis-jr-houston-america","provider":"TERRA VANGUARD","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
