Episode 313: The Throwback Lounge W/Ty Cool---- Mint Condition Revisited!!

The Throwback Lounge W/Ty Cool

What's good, family? I see you standing tall, and stepping strong. We keep progressing without stress. Now, we move on. Mint Condition (Stokley, Larry, Homer, Rickey, Jeffrey, and Keri) have held down the groove for over 3-plus decades. Their melding of r&b, funk, jazz, and neo-soul has entertained countless fans throughout their storied career. Mint Condition's many hits continue to have a place in many old school, and new school, r&b formats. The question that was presented to us 7 years ago, by way of one of our favorite Facebook groups, was this: is Mint Condition one of the important bands of the last 40 years? Mind you, this question was asked back in 2015, and there was a myriad of responses, some chat members said no, some were in the middle, and there were those who resoundingly said yes. We were of the latter. So, with that said, as we're in 2022, from 1975 to right now, Mint Condition is still one of the most important bands of our time. See, from the time we all heard the album Meant To Be Mint in 1990, to their most recent LP Music At The Speed Of Life in 2012, Mint Condition was a consistent act that defied the pitfalls of r&b in the 1990s into the 2000s. Mint Condition, along with The Brand New Heavies, Incognito, and Tony Toni' Tone' kept the aspect of an r&b/soul/funk band in the forefront of our minds throughout those times. With that said, we move onward with this artist spotlight. We did our best to revisit this one, and give it some new paint since it has been 7 years since this artist spotlight was done. We hope this episode finds you all in great spirits, so enough of us, press play and enjoy. Thanks as always for tuning in, and remember--- Tell a friend, to tell a friend, to tell a friend, all about The Throwback Lounge. It's not just a show..... IT'S AN EXPERIENCE!! 1 LOVE ;)
