Talk to Denzel: Toots and the Maytals – Country Roads, by Davin Michael Stedman

I showed my Puerto Rican Mama my rough mix of ‘West Indian Rock’ I leaked here for 24 hours. She was so happy with it and how the song was stuck in her head that she made my Dad put on The Mighty Quinn.

Denzel is her favorite actor. He’s my favorite actor. I played Toots & the Maytals version of ‘Country Roads’. She loves John Denver,

…Toots is my favorite Jamaican singer.

My parents are coming to see me sing at the North Bend Theatre on Wed April 17th with my new band The Soul United Allstars.

They understand the risk I am taking without The Staxx Brothers and that schtick I developed to a Science. But playing guitar and singing new songs is a risk my Pops is proud of. It’s a long time coming.

…and I still get to play ‘Easy Rider’, which fits like a glove. But I also get to sing the songs I cut in England with Lewis HardingScott RoweAlex Roberts, and Sam Mason.

It’s coming together, thanks to some folks behind the scenes that are really helping me make some serious moves:

Badj WhippleTyler Weber, and Russell Gerlach.

I am trying. Off to run my second 3k of the night. I am in better shape than I was in high school on Varsity. I would give this Denzel a run for his Money.

June 8th with Lenni I-Music at his concert in Port Antonio, instead of asking me if I am American actor Jack Black, this time, they’ll have to talk to Mr. Washington.
