That Driving Beat this week brings you two similar-sounding midtempo Northern steppers about urban life in the ever-changing, anonymous concrete city. One is a sought-after valuable rarity in the scene, while the other hasn't found much love even with its more uplifting message. We love them both! We also spin some classics that the discerning rare soul scenesters might say they're sick of hearing, at least one big chart hit with a B-side worth attention, 2 favorites from Bobby Bland, a much more in this week's radio dance party!
