While I was a little worried he was just going to retread the Motown sounds of his last awesome album, the new one is so good and a lot more rock 'n' roll than a lot of rock 'n' roll. It's like Saadiq does The Rolling Stones. But again, just like on The Way I See It, Saadiq doesn't just imitate the influences. He uses them as inspiration. And that's why it's awesome. Everybody agrees.
I listened to the album for free all the way to Nashville and back on NPR Music's great album preview feature. Catch it while you can.
Daytrotter has a good live session for free.

I have been in love with "Stone Rollin'" since I heard it back in April on the Sirius station I listen to most. I trust your opinions about music more than that of most other people I know, so thanks for the good review and the heads-up about the free NPR listen! - Jess
Yay! I'm flattered.
