Amy Winehouse - "Me & Mr Jones" - WOW. That's about as classic as it gets.
She is straight-up channeling Dinah Washington. The whole album is pretty solid, but far 2 short. "Tears Dry On Their Own" also grabs me. Peace. G. "He's a musician's musician..." |

This verse became an instant classic! Jamaicans have been saying that "fuckery" line for years now. It's nothing new. Amy Winehouse's album though is breath of fresh air. I especially like "Me & Mr. Jones", "Tears Dry On Their Own" and "Rehab". "And When The Groove Is Dead And Gone, You Know That Love Survives, So We Can Rock Forever" RIP MJ 
"Baby, that was much too fast"...Goodnight dear sweet Prince. I'll love you always | |

I don't care for "Tears Dry..."
it's just okay... I wish she woulda done something different with the sample I don't know... love "Fuckery" though I blasted that in the parking lot of the laundromat earlier today this elderly couple was loading their car boy was that awkward... "what kinda fuckery are we nowadays you don't mean dick to me..." tell him Amy! because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind." | |

 Hell no! That's one of the things I love about it. Amy says what she wants to say and doesn't drag it out with a bunch of filler. More albums should be this short. Leave 'em wanting more.  "Whitney was purely and simply one of a kind." ~ Clive Davis | |

What kind of fuckery is this? is hardly a great or classic lyric.
But I think in due time, Winehouse's voice, right along with them tig ol' bitties, will go down as classic. | |

Do you think she will or can break America.? And if she doesn't put in fillers on her albums more power to her. It's time peeps go back to having no more than 10 songs on an album. | |

Honestly, I would say wow to the whole album. Could do with 2 more songs maybe, but what is there makes it my fave album of 2007 (although actually I think it came out in 2006, didn't it?), if nothing unforeseen comes along.
I LOVE all those great horn riffs! | |

What's the definition of break America? Her album has already sold around 200,000 copies in the states since it was released. Some people would consider that a success. | |

It depends. It was released in 2006 in the U.K., 2007 in the U.S. | |

This verse became an instant classic! yes it did!!! Oh man - your signature is a line from a pop song? I had always imagined it being spoken by some amazed, aristocratic 19th-century Britishman. You know - like the guy in your picture! | |
