Beverly's Weekly Playlist: Midnight At The Oasis - Brand New Heavies

By Beverly Grafton

From the moment you press play, the uplifting energy of the Brand New Heavies sound infiltrates your very soul and breathes a sudden wave of energy to help you bulldoze through the remnants of your Monday Blues.

Originally sung by Maria Muldaur, the Brand New Heavies adopted a more upbeat and driven approach with their signature Acid Jazz - Funk sound when they covered the song, instead of following Maria's dreamy, Soft Rock version.

In my heart, I'll always prefer the original to sing but when I'm chilling in my pool with a cocktail in my hand, nothing beats having the Brand New Heavies compliment the perfect backdrop as the sun begins to make way for the moon's ascent.
