New Music: Governor - "Blood, Sweat & Tears"

Thursday June 1, 2006
GovernorWith a first name like Governor, you'd half expect him to enter a career in politics, but no. His father - Governor Washington, Sr. - was a Virginia preacher, and this Governor has decided to embark upon a singing career. And it's a good thing too, because he's a got a soulful voice that's hip and contemporary, yet still has that classic sound to it. His gritty debut album, Son of Pain, is due in stores Sept. 12, 2006, on Grand Hustle/Atlantic Records. But in the meantime, you can stream the video or audio of his song "Blood, Sweat & Tears," by clicking a link below.
