“LACKAWANNA BLUES”
April 07, 2005
[AMERICAN BLUES/R&B] This is a great soundtrack from an HBO film based on a true story. It's the tale of how a young boy's life is shaped by the unconditional love of an extraordinary woman called "Ms. Nanny," and the colorful characters she cares for in her boarding house. The emotional storyline is fueled by rhythm and blues—a.k.a. Jump Blues—and the soundtrack features songs from Mos Def, Macy Grey, Robert Bradley, Jimmy Scott, Big Joe Turner and my favorite, "High Heel Sneakers" by Tommy Tucker. I highly recommend checking out this soundtrack and the movie, if you can. Both will make you want to sing it, shout it, laugh, cry and dance, dance, dance. —Vanguard Records 2005 [KIMBERLY L.
