Hometown Sounds

The Washington Post Going Out Gurus wrap up their Weekend Concert Series at Carter Barron Amphitheatre tonight with the theme “Neo-Soul”, featuring Tamika “Love” Jones, Deborah Bond and headliner YahZarah. David Malitz provides a great intro piece in today’s Weekend section to the soul singer who recently returned to performing after stepping away from the music industry in frustration. Today’s video, the first from her 2010 album The Ballad of Purple St. James, is playful and catchy, and the intro will be instantly familiar to anyone who grew up in the 80s.
