Rising country star James Otto, who performed last weekend at Toby Keith's I Love This Bar & Grill in St. Louis Park, likes his R&B. He's been listening to the latest recordings by James Morrison and Cee-Lo. But the album he recommends is by his MuzikMafia buddy Jon Nicholson's new group, 7 Day Binge.

"He's gone heavy Southern rock. He's got the bassist from 3 Doors Down, Kid Rock's old guitarist. It's an all-star band. Find it on myspace. It's awesome."
