Bone-Appetit!

Take the best of T-Bone's last three albums, add some exclusive, sought-after tracks, and mix in a few new, tasty surprises, and you have a more-than-generous sonic feast ala T-Bone. Its diverse eighteen-track menu, which draws from his two Grammy-nominated albums, The Last Street Precha (2001) and Bone-A-Fide (2006), will satisfy the largest of fan appetites - and all "taste-buds, " with exotic and experimental influences ranging from Latin, Arabic, Indian, Caribbean, and even Gypsy sounds. The heart behind Bone Appetit! was to "capture the best of the last six years for fans, " says T-Bone. As the ninth album in the music pioneer's fifteen-year recording career, it also represents a rich journey of growth through "struggles and triumphs, and good and bad times." One of the definite highlights of these years was his standout performances in the feature film and soundtrack The Fighting Temptations (with Beyonce and Cuba Gooding, Jr.). Of all the tracks on the album, the "chef's favorite" is the new Latin/Caribbean-flavored dance gem, "Sing Your Praises" (Featuring Natalie LaRue and Mark Stuart of Audio Adrenaline), which is exclusively available in both English and Spanish on Bone Appetit! Another song on this Best Of that is not available on a previous album is the fan favorite "Raised in Harlem" from Hero: The Rock Opera. T-Bone shows the fun side of his lyrical brilliance on the comical "Pentecostal Horse Racing, " as well as on the Christian artist based new song, "Name Dropping" (Feat. Eric Dawkins). If that's not enough to fill you up, for dessert T-Bone serves up a scoop of "King Of My Life" (Feat. Natalie LaRue), which is a fan favorite available only on this album. If Bone Appetit! is what T-Bone has to show for the last six years, fans should be licking their lips in anticipation of what is to come. "My plan for the future is to continue to sue all the gifts and talents God has given me and do more movies, more music, and more books, " says the tireless T-Bone.
