Daddy B. Nice notes:

"I Had To Lie" charted at #6 in Daddy B. Nice's Top 10 Singles for September 2022.

********************

6. "I Had To Lie"------Avail Hollywood

Ms. Jody did a song called "I Had To Lie" and this song by Avail Hollywood is almost as charming, with additional elements to recommend it: Avail's vocal, a superb arrangement, scintillating production, and that super-tasty lead guitar used on 2021's Best Mid-Tempo Song "Dukes & Boots".

Listen to Avail Hollywood singing "I Had To Lie" on YouTube

********************


"Be Careful" is the other major song of the set. Released as a single this past summer, I could find no oharting or commentary on it in my Top 10 Singles or Top 40 Singles, meaning I either didn't think it had hit potential or simply missed it. "Be Careful" has a slow, languid tempo---possibly a reason for overlooking it---but in every other respect the ballad is first-rate, with a pristine instrumental track and typical, make-the-women-swoon, Hollywood vocal. Christopher Estell (aka Avail) has a style as powerful as the tides.

Of course, no Avail Hollywood album would be complete without his trademark theme, a "drinking-slash-wasted" song, and on LOVES, LIES & LOYALTY it's "I Gotta Stop Drinking," complete with the signature horn phrase from the chorus that's been the backbone of "Drinking Again" and "Wasted" and their previously-recorded iterations. "Beautiful Sex" with Methrone is in the same vein, slow and bedroom-ready. All in all, this is a prototypical Avail Hollywood album, perhaps not as cutting-edge as BLACK LOCOMOTIVE but just as swinging, and executed with sophistication, attention to detail and lots of heart.

Daddy B. Nice's Profile

The unique and relentlessly creative Avail Hollywood has taken a giant leap in stature over the last decade, from #47 on the previous chart to #9 of The New Generation. And as with his fellow, newly-minted, southern soul star Jeter Jones, your Daddy B. Nice has been closely entwined with Avail Hollywood's career from the very beginning, through all the ups and downs (mostly "ups") of an artist/critic relationship.

The "downs," since I broached the subject, came around 2016 after a poor review of his album "Wasted Confessions," at which point Avail (not only because of the review) left the southern soul circuit for a songwriting contract with a record company in Nashville. He even recorded a couple of country-western tunes. But he soon came back, and even at its worst, the relationship endured through all kinds of entertaining give-and-take which can be enjoyed in my previous artist guide to Avail Hollywood.

But in all that time Avail Hollywood's voice never failed to puzzle me. I knew it was good, I knew it was different, but I could never get a "handle" on his vocals. I could never compare his voice to anyone. In the early years the best I could come up with was there's a lot of air in it.

Avail's vocals come at you like an echo with a touch of "reverb," as slippery as a snake in water, or a smokey plume coming from the chimney of a far-off mountain cabin. "His style is unprecedented," I wrote in his latest charting single, "Da Loving Hit Different" (#2 May 2021).

And then, not long ago, it came to me. I heard some Elvis---"Heartbreak Hotel"---with whom I was interested in anyway after recently hearing a story of how a young Elvis Presley (already a black-music aficionado) searched far and wide through the chitlin' circuit and found one singer he wanted to emulate, the black Nashville musician Jimmy Sweeney. (There's that Nashville connection again.) And Elvis did.

I was just a little kid at the birth of rock and roll, more into the Everly Brothers than Elvis's "Hound Dog" or "Heartbreak Hotel," but when Presley recorded "Don't Be Cruel," which might be considered "swing-out" if recorded these days (residing in the nether territory between southern soul and zydeco), I gladly climbed on the Elvis bandwagon.

And yes, Avail Hollywood's tone and style does sound something like the rock and roll King, which is even funnier and more ironic when you realize that Avail (Christopher Estell) took his performing name (Avail Hollywood) from an Elvis Presley poster. (Scroll down to "About Artist").

It's even tempting to think of the Elvis analogy when looking at Avail Hollywood's body of work, which in the early years mined the slow, weeping ballads in the "Heartbreak Hotel" mode with such magnificent anthems to despair as "Drinking Again," "Rehab Ain't Working," and the glorious culmination of all that helplessness, "Wasted".

Along with occasional forays into clubbing and "grown-folks stuff" (aka sex), these early-album, title-track weepers defined roughly the first half of Avail Hollywood's career. The power that Avail brought to the table---the raw emotions that made him stand out from his peers---were most effectively packed into these ballads focusing on dissolution, addiction, pain and loneliness. So it has been a revelation and a real pleasure to witness Avail's growth and maturation over the last few years, recording songs that take on the "up-side" of life, especially sexual, without losing the edge and depth and lasting impressions of his early dark-side classics.

Ironically, the album that best showcases this more fully-rounded Avail is about the only CD Avail never sent me to review: 2019's Still King. (Most of the reviews can be read by scrolling down this page.) If he had, I would have given it five stars, "southern soul heaven," with at least four outright stand-outs in "Unbelievable Booty," "Girl You Bad," "Don't Rush" and "DJ Let Me Grind On Her."

And 2020's Black Locomotive, reviewed here in Tidbits #2 (scroll way down this page) continues the high level of artistry with the quasi-title-track "Love Train," a tour de force in mid-tempo time whose power matches if not exceeds any of the potent early ballads.

In spite of the millions of views racked up by his older classics, I've chosen 2019's "Girl You Bad" (with DJ Trac, a great find) as this artist guide's #1 Avail Hollywood song because it has aged so well and it fits Hollywood's vocal prowess like a glove. He's never sounded more comfortable.

"Gimme that green light," Avail sings with just the right balance of aggression and permission, "because I'm coming through".

Specializing in writing and production and the occasional hiphop voice-over, collaborator Trac has brought an impressive artistic filter to Hollywood's last couple of albums, and his arranging touch gives "Girl You Bad" a natural sound that epitomizes Avail's soulfulness. (They're currently touring together---summer of 2021---see concert calendar.)

In basic musical structure "Girl You Bad" is just a glorified hook, not a fully-fledged, verse and chorus and bridge, but who doesn't like hooks? Sparked by a minimally-used but effervescent guitar run, "Girl You Bad" sounds at once in the moment and timeless in a way some of the older Hollywood favorites no longer do.

It conjures the kind of place you want to be in, the kind of place where physical love---slow, drawn-out, grown-folks love---is imminent... satisfaction guaranteed. It's just what grown-folk women who have made Avail a star want to hear. Love for the long term. Ongoing love. And happily, "Girl You Bad" itself holds up to the constant playing.

About Avail Hollywood #10 New Generation (New Album Alert!)

Christopher Estell, aka Avail Hollywood, was born July 24, 1983 in Texarkana, Texas. His father, Collins Estell, was a professional guitarist (R&B and gospel), and two sisters, Loraine and Donna, were gospel singers. Estell entered the music business as the drummer in Shades of Ebony, a gospel group that included his father and two sisters. The aggregation, three female singers and a full band, was signed to Claytown, Willie Clayton's label, in 1998.

Estell took the name "Avail Hollywood" from a poster that hung on the wall of the family's studio when he was growing up. The poster read: "Elvis Presley, Now Available in Hollywood." It was signed by Elvis and Lenny Lewis, the legendary owner of the seminal Southern Soul label, Suzie Q. Records which first brought such artists as David Brinston, O. B. Buchana and Maurice Wynn to the public. Christopher shortened the "available" to become Avail Hollywood.

After the break up of Shades of Ebony in 2000 Avail Hollywood produced his sister Loraine's solo album, Zipper on Shreveport's Suzie Q label, as well as her 3003 single, "Take A Lil' Risk," on the New Orleans' Baby Boy label. In 2005 he produced Donnie Ray's Bang That Thang CD for Ecko Records in Memphis.

Avail Hollywood wrote, produced, and performed his solo debut The Young Gunn Of Southern Soul, in 2009 on his own label, NLightn Records (distributed through CD Baby), and the single "Don't Leave Me" gained some attention.

In 2010 Hollywood produced Donnie Ray's well-received CD for Ecko, BYOB. Then, in 2011, he released his second Avail Hollywood CD, Drinking Again, with its hit single title track

"Drinking Again" was the first song to establish the Avail Hollywood brand and persona. "Rehab". "Alcoholic". "Drinking a lot of Hennessey" with "a dumb look on my face". These were the themes Avail would go to the well for time and again throughout his career.

"I've been in this club
And I said I wasn't gonna be drinking.
Now I'm stumbling over to this bar
With a dumb look on my face.
That's how it is
When you're drinking a lot of Hennessey,
Say you lost your girl,
Or say you lost your man.
And now you're in rehab,
Like 'Hi, my name is Hollywood.
And I'm an alcoholic.'"


"Drinking Again" was one of two songs about inebriation that charted in early 2011. The other was the late Mel Waiters' "When You Get Drunk," which garnered the lion's share of attention that year. But Hollywood's "Drinking Again" prevailed over time, gaining millions of views on YouTube.

Country Road, with a rambunctious line-up of sexually-themed adventures ("Country Road," "Club In The Woods," "Halle Berry," and "Domestic Love" reprised from the previous CD) followed in 2013.

Rehab came out the following year, featuring the title track "Rehab Ain't Working" and its most prominent stanza:

"Because every freaking night, girl,
And every freaking day,
I wanna freak your body, girl,
In every freaking way."


The club-bangers "Creole Shuffle" and "Kiss My Southern Soul" added some fist-pumping zest to the set.

Wasted Confessions followed in 2015, prompting Daddy B. Nice to write about "Wasted"---a song about when "the person you married ain't the person you fell in love with"---as follows:

Like the opening chords of the truly great songs (LaMorris Williams' "Impala," J'Wonn's "I Got This Record"), you know within the first few bars that "Wasted" is something very special and very deep. This is Hollywood's best single yet, even more remarkable than the durable "Drinking Again."

Old Skool Kinda Girl appeared in 2016, showcasing "Twenty-Five And Up," arguably the most popular single of Avail Hollywood's career, prompting him to proclaim himself the "King of Grown Folks Music," which he subsequently appropriated as his marketing moniker.

Listen to Avail Hollywood singing "Twenty-Five And Up" on YouTube.

Good Whiskey was released in 2018, followed by Still King in 2019 and Black Locomotive in 2020, the latter two CD's charting numerous times on Daddy B. Nice's Top 10 Singles. (See Comprehensive Index.)

The two songs that opened the BLACK LOCOMOTIVE album, the punchy, guitar-driven "Box Top Chevy (Deep In The Woods)" and the orchestral-sounding, mid-tempo, lullaby-like "Love Train," were supremely-accomplilshed crowd-pleasers and hit singles.

In 2020 Louisiana producer extraordinaire Beat Flippa brought new artist Hisyde together with Avail Hollywood for a rousing single called "Is It Ova?" (from the album PRODUCER OF THE YEAR). Avail's vocal on his solo verse jumped off the recording, and Hisyde (whose performance itself was astonishing) was appropriately worshipful.

And in 2021, as this artist guide was being written, Avail was #2 on the charts once again with his new single "Tha Loving Hit Different."

January 26, 2020:

3. AVAIL HOLLYWOOD: Black Locomotive (Avail Hollywood / AvailMusic-Nlightnrecords). Four Stars **** Distinguished effort. Should please old fans and gain new.

Avail Hollywood's 2019 album Still King marked a major step forward for the unique tenor with the hard-to-define style. Known for his problem-drinking hit singles like "Drinking Again," "Wasted," "Rehab" and "Rehab Ain't Working"--songs that plunged into emotional darkness and resurfaced with a singular soulfulness not heard in quite the same fashion on the southern soul circuit before--the album painted a broader canvas, incorporating domestic joys and sexual pleasures. Not that Hollywood hadn't recorded other themes before ("Club In The Woods," "Fatal Attraction," "Country Road," "A Little Age On It"). But prior to STILL KING those tunes hadn't carried the heft of the drinking songs. Suddenly Hollywood was singing emotionally-convincing material on a wide range of subjects: "Girl, You Bad," "Unbelievable Booty," "Don't Rush" and "DJ Let Me Grind On Her".

Avail's new album, Black Locomotive, continues this remarkable artistic maturation. The two songs that open the album, the punchy, guitar-driven "Box Top Chevy (Deep In The Woods)" and the orchestral-sounding, mid-tempo, lullaby-like "Love Train," are surefire crowd-pleasers and potential hit singles. The latter would have been better served with the album title "Black Locomotive," but that is easily overlooked. Watch for one or both of these tunes on Daddy B. Nice's Top 10 Southern Soul Singles for February 2020. If they're any indication of what's to come, we're in for a marvelous year to come in southern soul.

Listen to Avail Hollywood singing "Box Top Chevy" on YouTube.

Listen to Avail Hollywood singing "Love Train" on YouTube.

Nor does the balance of the set disappoint. The ballads "Stop Playing With My Emotions" and "Temporary Nigga" combine worthy lyrics with first-rate vocals and production. What does Avail Hollywood's "Got To Get It" have in common with another new single by Narvel Echols called "Country Folks Party"? They both share the iconic horn riff (from KC & The Sunshine's Band "Boogie Shoes") used by Floyd Hamberlin to great effect in Nellie "Tiger" Travis's "If I Back It Up".

"This Hit For The Grown Folks" is a novelty tune with nifty special effects including a cartoon-character-like voice over. "The Grass Ain't Greener (But Sometimes)" is a Hollywood ballad with a simple message: Sometimes it is greener. "That Was The Liquor Talking" mines Avail's specialty, the ballad, extracting a surprisingly strong message of apology. The instrumental track and production are sure-handed and impressively distinct. as they are throughout. Finally, "Box Top Chevy (Music Mix)" reprises the opening track with its influences made more prominent: namely Curtis Mayfield's beloved masterpiece, "Diamond In The Back". And like Curtis, we can...

"Just be thankful
For what Avail's got".

March 13, 2023:

Thank You Letter (which leads to Avail Hollywood "Conversating" With Daddy B. Nice)

Re: Avail Hollywood #10 The New Generation

Number 10 is the bottom of the Beginning the top of the last's ... one would normally frown upon my Endeavor's & Culturely Influencing This New Game of Southern Soul but not me I'm proud of what you consider to be your chart.... first off to you: the Wonderful Daddy B Nice.. Thanks through out the years of keeping up with the name AVAIL HOLLYWOOD I know it ain't been easy because I probably have the biggest catalog in southern soul not only just for me--- I have wrote and recorded legends-to your best acknowledges it means the world to me!?? if I could rate you I would rate you next to superb ... not superb but next to it, but you are Definitely A Great Force of the Southern Soul Community!

I remember it like it was yesterday, some of my peers told me: NO JEANS, NO BASEBALL CAPS AVAIL!! Why does he wear shades, and cut the sleeves off his shirts, and what's with the big CIGAR, During that time of 2008 every one singing Southern Soul wore Suits and the ladies wore dresses,...

You can't use those RNB / HIP HOP bass lines in southern soul -- he's deluding Southern Soul... lol remember this Daddy B "IT JUST AINT NO SOUTHERN SOUL IN AVAIL HOLLYWOOD " I loved that first article you wrote on me..

Then it was his show is to Nasty, Don't curse, and his shows have too many show lights on stage and you don't need stage smoke ?? for your performances LOL! NoW LOOK AT THE NEW GENERATION OF SOUTHERN SOUL. I FREAKING LOVE IT!!!!!!!!! They do all this and more!!!

This new wave of TikTok is a blessing, it has definitely gave artist a chance that before now wouldn't have had this opportunity to be in front of the masses... in the same sense is the way I used facebook when I started, WHEN I SAY I HAD TO GET IT OUT THE MUDD I DON'T SAY THAT LOOSELY ..

...LET ME SAY THIS MY FANS HAS KEPT ME ALIVE I LOVE EACH AND EVERY ONE OF THEM FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART you just don't understand how good they have been to me!!!...my god!!

IVE NEVER STEPPED FOOT ON THE BLUES IS ALRIGHT TOUR, NORE THE SPRING FLING AND THESE ARE THE SHOWS THAT HELP KEEP SOME OF MY CONSTITUENCES RELEVANT -in 15yrs of being in this Game.. I've always said those crowds are set crowds and a TICKET OF THE TOP TEIR ARTIST IN THE GAME -- when you are one of the highest paid, and can last 15years and still pack houses like I, with out the help of big Annual shows really speak volumes --- & and out of your top TEN IM THE ONLY 1 that hasn't been on any of southern soul's biggest platforms! It's not to bost or to pump my chest like Tarzan!!
Lol which you know I love to do!.... KING!!!!!!

It's just to show other artist you don't have to be listed among the top TO REALLY BE THE TOP ... GOD IS EVERYTHING

I LOVE YOU MR B NICE, keep doing your thang????

Daddy B. Nice replies:

Another blast! Thanks for checking in. You’re not alone among Top 10 New Generation artists not being invited to the Blues Is Alright Tour. Neither have Wendell, Jeter, T.K. and before this year when he finally broke in, J-Wonn. Can I post this?

Avail Hollywood replies:

I make no mistake when I tell you—- They have all in your TOP 9 New Generation— been apart of the BLUES IS ALRIGHT TOUR. OR Either THE SPRING FLING!! And that’s not a bad thing at all—THATS A GREAT THING IN MY EYES and they all ROCK!!

But I have not NOT either 1 and up until now I’m very much proud of that fact!!! But! One would think based off my remarks that I’ve never been invited—. Lol let me tell on myself -unfortunately I have, I was asked two years ago about the Spring Fling - but after being in the game 10 years and just now being asked… I thought to myself what’s the point …. Lol Maybe I was just in my feelings- what u think DADDY B?? LOL Feelings?? and I forgot to mention, maybe I asked for a lil to much Cash too!

Again this is not to tare down anyone of my soul brothers or sisters because I’m proud of everyone’s contribution to this thang we call southern soul — I just thought it might be a penny for your thought… and maybe it might inspire an up and coming artist- THAT THE GREATs Have OBSTACLES TOO! And yes u can post this!! Don’t have me writing all this for NOTHING MAN!!!

Daddy B. Nice replies:

My thought on that (the Blues Is Alright Tour) is you should call Julius and tell him, “I’m ready, man.” And work with him on the fee. The national exposure to be gained is tremendous! You’ve got the “jewels”. Don’t get bashful at this late date. Show those “jewels”!

Avail Hollywood replies:

You are 100% right Daddy B I just might do that!, Lol u know I hate admitting when you are RIGHT, just Kidding MAN… I have nothing but respect for the BLUES ALRIGHT as well as the SPRING FLING they both are absolutely beautiful as well as the TRI STATE that showed me mad love over the years! But you know I’m a SOUTHERN SOUL Renegade have and always will be. I LIKE THAT - IM START USING THAT southern soul renegade a*k*a* The King of Grownfolks Music Lol! Don’t get me started man! As always Good talking to you brother!
