Jojo Reed, Not Your Baby’s Daddy (Zydeco Hound)

As one might guess, the title cut is a zydeco “Billie Jean”: JoJo’s ex asks him why he hasn’t been to see “his” baby, he asks her how old the baby is, she says eight months, he says the baby can’t be his because they haven’t had sex in two years, she demands child support anyway — and that’s it. No more laughs, no more sex. Of the remaining dozen songs, only the embittered “Who’s My Friend?” and the joyful “No Sad Songs” rise above the competent but generic zydeclatter.
