Album Notes

Ladies & Gentlemen, The Woodshed Presents . . . SWEET PEA!

The long awaited, self-titled, solo, debut album is filled with funky music that brings just the right touch of light to solemn subject matter. From the bottoms of Cordele down in dusty South Georgia to the dirty streets of the beloved SWATs of the ATL, the "Queen of Neo Funk" has emerged.

The voice has been called phenomenal and the sound delivers what has been touted as a much needed “break from the radio.”

"At The Woodshed" introduces you to the witty personality of our First Lady with the commercially infectious "Now Listen" opening the first chapter of the Sweet Pea story. "For The Streets" will transport you to the place where funky little children begin the journey of understanding and you can hear their cries as they rise when you indulge in "Unplugged." Recognize that funk makes people move and funk comes from the gospel by getting your "Shout" on. (Go 'head, do your dance!) Remember that James Brown told us “Funky is about the injustices, the things that go wrong,” as “Dead Man Walking” begins to play; and then, take some time to remember the lessons you have learned along with Sweet Pea while listening to “Reflections.”

Your fears will be erased and your hope will be renewed as you play “Don’t Take My Dreams Away.” Sweet Pea spotlights her birthplace on “The Bottoms” and showcases her dirty-south-crunk-country-girl style with “Gotta Work Hard.” Want some old school? Check out “The Funk!” The Woodshed pledges to bring you socially-conscious music by highlighting the current plight of our Gulf Coast brothas and sistas on “Keep It Cool”, by never forgetting the injustices of the past with “Time,” and by keeping it real on “Inner City.”

Please join us as we alter the course of music history. A journey you will take pleasure in reliving again and again.
