career stats:

this album.......................#147 US...#184 UK

debut set for this Michigan native....
bought this from a discount bin after I heard and bought his latest album earlier this year...
white boy who thinks he is a "soul man", and right he is, he does it as good as the black guys can IMO...
freaky, though because he looks like Elvis Costello, really geeky and nerdy, but the sound that comes out of his
mouth is soul perfection IMO...
this is real soul/r+b...
the sort of stuff Motown built an empire out of...
I hear bits of Temptations and Chi-Lites on here, yes Chi-Lites, and yes,I know, they weren't a Motown band...!
all up, a fantastic album of soul music, and believe me, it takes a lot to impress me with soul/r+b because im
a huge fan of Stax/Atlantic/Brunswick and the Motown stable of artists from the 60s and 70s...
I LOVE THIS ALBUM
worst track: one track mind
best track: just aint gonna work out

Aussie hip-hop from Adelaide,South Australia....
this is their fifth studio album, pretty sure I have them all now,
well, maybe all but one...
so, the Aussie hip guys don't use the foul language of their American counterparts,
its rarely about women, booze, drugs, guns, etc...just day to day life as they see it...
I guess I relate to them because I get where theyre coming from...
all their albums get around the same/similar score in the raitings from me, I think theyre
consistant , you guys probably do too....consistently bad maybe?, LOL....
I LIKE THIS ALBUM
worst track: the underground
best track: speaking in tongues
