Al Jay’s Running On Empty single is a uniquely interesting and humorous single with the song Running On Empty being the most humorous of the 4 songs included. All of these songs were included on his Smooth and Sensuous album. The single has a touch of blues rap included. The front cover has Al Jay standing out on a freeway in a rural setting by his car with his Star Tyme “Thumpolumpus” bass guitar.
The single itself was an indie project released as a cassette single from JAY TYME Productions in 1998. Al Jay produced half of the single by himself while Allan Hayes produced the other half.
Running On Empty (The Gasoline Mix) is a humourous blues rap song featuring Cazearei on his all new unleaded lead guitar while Al Jay plays his Star Tyme “Thumpolumpus” bass guitar. Blues meets a touch of rap on the song Running On Empty.
In fact, a humorous warning sticker was issued on the back of the cassette single for the song since it was such pure fire. Here is the exact description of what the warning said.:
WARNING: Do not play the Gasoline Mix around open flames, matches, or explosives, because it’s the bomb and it will explode.
Is It A Dream features rap from the street poet Lil Kaos outta Los Angeles, California. The song Is It A Dream contains a melody written by Latimore. Yes the Kenny Latimore. The song itself has a street rap sound that meets soul music.
I’m Through Crying (It’s Your Tyme Now) is an explicit heartbreaking love song filled with rejection. Yo Yo is featured on here.
I rate this single, Running On Empty, 5/5*****!
