...show, the audience was reluctant to let the band go. Their exit was accompanied by wild applause and screaming until they were wooed back onto stage. Both encore pieces were from Bring It On, concluding with the whimsical "Whippin' Piccadilly," a tribute to drug day ambling around their native...
...conflicts between Chechens, Russians and the Ingush who wanted to unite with North Ossetia, who in turn wanted to unite with South Ossetia which was waging a guerrilla war against Georgia, a nation "consumed by conflicts between Muslims and Christians, nationalists and Communists, secessionist provinces and one irate band of paramilitary horsemen." Blaming the U.S. and the West as being unprepared to deal with the effects of the Cold War, Fritz writes that "The West got the world it had demanded, and now it was scrambling to shield itself from it." The Western demand for open markets in the world...
Think again, Lee Fields, known as "Little J.B." to his friends "throughout the global funk community," has made a valiant effort to resurrect what he considers the fallen genre of "rough, nasty and genuine" '70s funk in this album.

While I always considered them to be just another one hit wonder band from the 80s (their 1983 single "Red Red Wine" is lost somewhere in my dusty cassette collection but is still alive on my MP3 player), UB40 has not died, and neither has reggae. While hints of '90s pop and European disco influences surface throughout Labour of Love III, rich, warm harmonies and gentle, rocking beats transport listeners once again to those light hippie days of the '70s. Still, it's hard not to smile at lyric eloquence like "I love you. I love You. I love...
