Anyone like this guy? First time I'm listening to him this morning. Sam Cooke, he loves, yes. And Brown and Burke. Think I'll buy the new album.

Yeah, that's a little better than Michael McDonald, isn't it?

"Satisfier" owns, too.

Saw this guy tonight solo in London. Damn good, and I imagine he'd be better with a full band. I tried to haggle the price of his CD down to something decent in US$, but he would not budge. I ain't spending 10 pounds on a CD.

So what was your issue with this guy? I'm assuming you have some sort of insight since he's from Boston?

Just curious. I was in the record store yesterday and listened to some of it at a listening station and was digging the hell out of it.

I didn't pick it up because I had a list I was sticking to but from what I heard it was pretty solid R&B based tuneage.

Still like it a lot. On repeated listens he doesn't have the fluidity of the masters but he fully has the passion and pure approach.

I picked this up while in NY. It is really f'n good. Would love to see him live.

It blows my mind that they got the production so..... right on this.

I bought this at an amoeba instore he did a few months ago just because I thought he put on a show and wanted to support him. Its enjoyable enough i guess but probably in the bottom 10% of soul discs I own along with Sharon Jones and most other recent soul artists i talk myself in to buying. I'm not sure i'll ever really feel like listening to it again. I need to control myself a little better on this kind of stuff.

Just pop it in, and play tracks 2 and 5 a couple of times.

Listening to his new album now. First half is pretty disappointing. Might be a grower, but it's certainly not having the immediate impact the first album did.

Dude's a live act, anyway.

After reading about it, I wanted to check it out, but I can't find it at the local CD emporium. Always give up & find something else.

Heard good things, though, that's fer sher.

Including a duet with Macy Gray on a Sam Cooke tune.
