Features Disc of the day
Grant Lee Phillips
Ladies Love Oracle
(Cooking Vinyl, 2000)
Former Buffalo guy still got his ju-ju. Ask this MOJO messageboarder.
Known for his work with Grant Lee Buffalo in the early '90s, Grant Lee Phillips has maintained a steady solo output, but his first remains just about his best. As is quoted on the back of the CD by Phillips himself, "recorded over the course of three days in October '99, Ladies Love Oracle is just me in the raw, me in the dark, me in the basement. Sometimes a sketch says more than a mural". The analogy rings true, and although these songs are stripped back, they are exemplary of the craft with which Phillips approaches his songwriting. His weathered but delicate voice weaves through these beautifully melancholic songs about love and loss, such as in the tune Folding: "Oh what a painful lament / Knowing what was / And not knowing where it went" before leading to the chorus "Darling I'm folding / I'm tired of holding onto a love untrue". These songs are honest, and they are open - laid out bare without any loud instrumentation for the lyrics to hide behind. Grant Lee Phillips is one of the better songwriters active in America today, and Ladies Love Oracle is brimming with proof.

I have tried sevral over-the-counter teeth whitening products but have not found one that works well.
Does anyone have any advise or experience with some of the products offered online? I prefer using a paste solution instead of the strips.
Thanks in advance...
