Lee Fields buttons (on sale now)

Soul crooner Lee Fields's new LP, My World, is out now on Truth and Soul Records. Fields and his band the Expressions, made up of Dap Kings, Budos Band and Antibalas members, celebrated that disc with a CD release show at Southpaw on Friday, June 5th. Two songs from that record are posted above.

Coming up, he'll be at Joe's Pub on Tuesday, July 21st with The Phenomenal Handclap Band (who just put out an album of their own) and Fight the Big Bull. Tickets are on sale. Fight the Big Bull, an ethnic folk-inspired jazz band, is also playing an early set that same night with Sex Mob. Tickets to that are on sale too, and you can get a two-ticket package by phone.

The Phenomenal Handclap Band also have a show coming up at Le Poisson Rouge.

Fields was recently sampled by J. Cole, "Jay-Z's first and only signing to his newly formed label, Roc Nation." The mix tape with that on it, titled The Warm Up, is streaming on Vibe (RIP).

A video of Lee doing "Love Comes and Goes" at that Southpaw show, with more vids, below...
