Judy Duff - Keeping One Eye Open

We proudly bring you, here on You-Tube, the premiere of a totally brand new song, from our brand new album, "Soul Steppers" - due for release in late February 2009. A delectable new album of "Modern-Room" style Northern Soul. Classic retro soul, owing more homage to Gamble and Huff and the sound of Philadelphia and the mid 1970s rhythms, than to the usual Sixties style. Midtempo and Uptempo soulful sizzlers to warm the embers of your heart, and take your feet totally out of control. Just as the legendary Blackpool Mecca building gets pulled down, the "Soul Steppers" album shows that they can pull down the building but they can never take away our music. And in this recession, in times of darkness and uncertainty, as the opening track gloriously proclaims - "I know there's better times ahead for us". Onward to a brighter day. Music can lift us and make us forget what the world has to throw at us, and this album is designed to do just that. The new album has songs by Rosetta Hightower, Noel McKoy, Odette Adams, Tahira Jumah, Jay Harvey, Pearly Gates, The Flirtations, Janine Johnson, Michael Lloyd Pinq, Kitty Corbin, Judy Duff, The Concentrations, Jimmy James, and a few major surprises. Here, Judy Duff sings "Keeping One Eye Open". This lovely lady is the lead singer of a Birmingham Soul Band called The Nu Soul Generation. They are an explosive, dynamic, high-energy, high-calibre solid soul sound experience -- Tight vocals, sublime horns and pulsating rhythm section, who take you on a ride on a breath-taking journey from 60's & 70's Motown and Atlantic, through to 80's - 00's Disco & Soul. Formed from a collective of professional soul musicians, each with many years' band and performance experience behind them. Masters of their instruments, and bringing a fresh feel to the tried and tested covers of classic Soul and Disco songs, the tight rhythm and horn section explodes into a scintillating floor-filling frenzy from the very outset of their opening musical bars. Lead vocalist, Judy Duff, has worked with esteemed UK soul and contemporary music artists, and is a sought after session singer. Delivering a powerful stage and vocal mix means that their many gigs are a complete success. The repertoire consists primarily of classic and contemporary soul music, Tamla Motown, Stax and funk covers. One of the hottest 9-piece soul bands in the entire country, performing a sublime cocktail of soul, funk and disco floor fillers. A Cool band with a fresh and vibrant feel. And Judy was so in tune with the music I was making that she'd been buying my albums and wanted to be a part of my earlier album, "Yesterday And Tomorrow", an album of new versions of my old classic songs, and what a happy turn of fate that she contacted me at just the right time to be the proud performer of the classic Evelyn Thomas hit, "Weak Spot". And the new album, for the first time, is being distributed by Wienerworld, who have put out all our Northern Soul DVDs, and this time we look certain to get it sold in all the remaining major record shops around the country. And remember the whole theme of this special album - "I know there's better times ahead for us".

One of the best songs on "Soul Steppers" in my opinion. The chorus is extremely catchy and one that's stuck in my head after watching the album trailer - cool vibe solo too.
