Detroitsoul50

This album is always Home Sweet Home

My father sat with the family around the campfire singing his renditions of Rocky Raccoon and James Taylor songs. This album has an indelible quality similar to that. It brings up of a sense of nostalgia like all the times hearing my father sing around the campfire. When there's a musician, like Billy; that has mastered his craft, you listen. Couldn't be more pleased with a new release this year.

A sound all his own, Matthew Dear's Asa Breed album is a sonic soundscape furthering what electronic is, not only in Detroit but also for the world. My only gripe is that he doesn't put out more. Seek out his performance on KEXP. You won't be disappointed.

This feels like a personal and as close to a love letter to Otis's father than anything else put out by the great irrefutable Madlib. Nostalgic and fun, this is a must have for any fan of Jazz, Horace Silver, and of course Madlib. Funky Blue Note is my favorite track on the album.
