Raphael Saadiq ‎– Stone Rollin'

This is one of the top albums of the decade.

What more does this guy have to do to be noticed?!?!??! I am a lost of words....In fact I really don't know what to say about this Masterful album. While others from his era have faded and gone (or became part of the oldies curcuit), Raphael continues, not just to challege himself, but us as well. I mean seriously, who else in mordern R&B (and I mean the cats that can be played on the radio) throws out all the updated rules of music, and defiantly continues to play only to his muses hoping to gain respect for it. Well, here you go in a nutshell, Raphael's ability to bring the old and keep it new is nothing short of stunning!! And let's make no mistake, he's been doing this since Tony Toni Tone'.

USA release is pressed or mastered for vinyl horribly. Heads up before buying the vinyl. I was excited to get a copy for "the answer" and really falls flat.
