| | J Holiday Back Of My Lac' CD J Holiday Discography of CDs
 (2 Customer Reviews)
Powered by the lead-off single "Bed," a smooth, catchy loverman track, BACK OF MY LAC', the debut album from Washington D.C.-based singer J. Holiday, is classic urban contemporary in the mold of R. Kelly. Like "Bed," the rest of the songs on BACK OF MY LAC' favor drum machine-fueled production and mid-to-downtempo grooves, which make a perfect backdrop for J. Holiday's expressive, sensuous tenor. Passionate but laid back in the cut, J. Holiday brings the urban soul goods on this strong, promising debut.

You'd probably have to dump a bucket of ice on J. Holiday's head in order to see his eyelids open more than half way, at least going by the singer's photos and persistently slack delivery. He's always relaxed, even when he's decreeing the "Thug Commandments." It doesn't mean he's lacking passion. (He might even sound like Chris Brown if he wasn't high and/or intoxicated so frequently -- who knows?) Despite what it seems like on the surface, Holiday has the stoned but deep-feeling thing down pat, as indicated by "Bed," the gently rocking, unapologetically sleazy, and uniquely endearing single that became a number one R&B single just before the release of Back of My Lac'. Those who are hoping for the album to contain more of that sensitive thuggery delivered by a swaggering softie won't be let down, as most of the other songs revolve around seduction and heartache. Holiday also likes to sing about getting high and drunk, quite possibly far too much for those who don't indulge. While some of the come-ons are problematic as well -- he compliments a woman by comparing her body to that of a call girl -- there's enough sincere sweetness to lure a guarded heart. And it wouldn't hurt to have a thing for slight lisps. ~ Andy Kellman Back Of My Lac' Music | List Price | $18.97 (You save $3.32) | | Category | Rock/Pop Albums, Soul/R&B CDs, Urban Soundtrack, Rap, Contemporary R&B, R&B | | Label | Capitol / EMI | | Orig Year | 2007 | | All Time Sales Rank |  173616  | | CD Universe Part number | 7509669 | | Catalog number | 88125 | | Discs | 1 | | Release Date | Oct 02, 2007 | | Studio/Live | Studio | | Mono/Stereo | Stereo | | Producer | Adonis Shropshire; The Platinum Brothers; Donnie Scanz; L.O.S.

Back Of My Lac'
$43.09
Throughout its entire career, Jazzanova has been largely renowned predominately for its high-quality remixes for various artists. Whenever a Jazzanova remix was presented, it was more often than not an event for downtempo fanatics rather than whoever was on the A-side. This time around, though, the tables have been turned and other artists take a stab at interpretations of songs from Jazzanova's 2002 full-length debut. Labelmates from the Compost community (Beanfield, Yukihiro Fukutomi, Moonstarr, and ...
| | Radiohead Com Lag (2plus2isfive) CD (2004) Digipak; Extended Play
Back Of My Lac'
$11.35 
2007 reissue of the EP originally released in 2004 as a Japanese-only special collection to celebrate the Japanese leg of Radiohead's concert tour to promote the album "Hail To the Thief". Demand for the set was so high that EMI was forced to release the disc in the UK for a short time. This enhanced mini-album features hard to find single b-sides (treasured by most Radiohead fans), rare live tracks and remixes!
This is an Enhanced CD, which contains both regular audio tracks and multimedia computer files.
Useful only to the most devoted Radiohead followers (who will probably have most of the contents to begin with), Com Lag is a patchwork of live material, remixes, B-sides, and other assorted scraps. Naturally, the release isn't nearly as cohesive as Hail to the Thief; its apparent intent is ...

| | Juke CD (2000)
Back Of My Lac'
$11.15
After a decade or so of banging around Seattle in various musical guises-most notably the band Juke, though you may also have seen him playing in such noteworthy projects as The Long Winters, Crooked Fingers, and blues mainstays The Jellyrollers-Darren Loucas has decided to call his solo project by its proper name (Darren Loucas) and embark on what Darren Loucas feels will be a very fruitful and rewarding adventure for Darren Loucas. At heart, Loucas' songs are deeply rooted in hardcore, old school, honest-to-Guthrie folk music, but their folk identity is tempered heavily by their author's ginger falsetto vocals, and his profound guitar work. Because he is not the author of this bio, it's not immodest to claim that Darren Loucas is one of Seattle's most accomplished players-you can ask just about anyone. For several years, he's made a living playing Seattle's blues circuit. He even won a contest. His notorious skills are a big part of why Juke's self-released CD received heavy airplay on KEXP, and reasonable acclaim in the local press. But let's be honest: The name Juke probably doesn't mean very much to you, and frankly, it doesn't mean that much to Darren Loucas anymore, either.By embracing the solo nature of his music-both its sound and its subject matter-and taking the leap that all musicians eventually must, Loucas has essentially invented himself anew. The plan is to play solo shows in advance of his upcoming recording and build from there. And if audience response to Darren's newly unveiled songs are any indication, Darren's next and first record will be the one we've been waiting for... especially Darren Loucas.-- Reviews --"Darren (Loucas) is a Seattleite. I played bass in his band, Juke, for about six months a few years ago. Darren also plays in a blues band, the Jelly Rollers, and solo around town. He is a super duper blues fingerpicker and probably the most inventive, daring and exciting electric guitarist I have heard live in the last ...
