    A little less than a year removed from “Love’s Got Me,” we present a second go-round for Tambouratzis with his latest track, “Do It,” a preview of his upcoming self-released CD, The Other Side of My Soul.  Taking the vocal spotlight in this mid-tempo funk/soul burner is Vicky Bee, whose husky voice hugs the sexy and the joy towards an exclusive lover.  As Tambouratzis’ electric guitar cradles the musical atmosphere within “Do It,” his long-time touring band holds down simple, yet steady organic grooves.  “Do It” locks in more of an urban flavor than “Love’s Got Me,” again showing Tambouratzis’ overall strengths as a musician, no matter what he crafts or the notes he plays.
