Just bought Shockadelica by Jesse Johnson.

Am really impressed with about half, although it is padded out with quite a bit of cheesy 80s filler.

Standout tracks so far are the super-funky Burn You Up and She (I Can't Resist).

How does this compare to his other two albums?

jesse johnsons review/1985- i think the funkiest

shockadelica/1986

every shade of love/1988 - more poppy

bare my naked soul/1996 - hendrix/kravitz rock - but very good(limited release)

if you dont have jesse johnson's revue, get it, youre missing out.
you can get the out of print on ebay for about 60 bocks, i have about 20 copies on vinyl cuz i usually see them for 3 bucks

Cool...

I really dig Do Yourself A Favour, Black In America (although it's a bit corny), She (I can't Resist), Burn You Up and the first two tracks.

Would've been tighter as a six-track album like The Times if you ask me.

Will definately check out Revue...
