Poor Little Music Boy Cover

If I had to pick a favorite Speech solo song, it'd have to be "Poor Little Music Boy" (particularly the live version from Speech's Best). Here's a fun version of the song by Nomakosazana and Uli Lenz from their album Art of the Duo, Tenderness that I found while playing around with my Amazon music app. Enjoy!

Speech Jailed

I can't think of a better story to kick off this blog again--Speech has been jailed, peeps. Behind cold, hard steel.

To work on a new album. No, really.

Speech, the stage name of Todd Thomas, is in Richmond recording Arrested Development’s next album at the jail. He’s using the studio, which has been there since the jail opened in 2014, but mostly he’s there for the talent and inspiration.

“When we got here, I didn’t know how talented or untalented any of the residents were going to be,” he says. “It’s been part of the journey to really interact with them and learn how talented they are. I’ve just been floored by it.”

Sounds very intriguing for a multitude of reasons. Check out the rest of the story here!
