A musical retrospective in song, looking back at the last 40 or so years, 30 of which out of music. There's some schmaltzy but great vocals from one of the greatest soul/blues singers of all time.
1. Laidback funky ballad
2. Great vocals over pop schmaltz
3. Lowdown, laidback funky crawl
4. Bluesy/churchy ballad
5. Marchin' country stroll - soulified
6. Orchestral arrangement w/strings. Moving, almost classical
7. Tuff struttin' - soul march
8. Easy strollin' pop ballad
9. Classic "pre-Katrina" Randy Newman
10. Short churchy ballad intro to ...
11. ... funky marchin' churchy walk
12. Easy walkin' cha cha-esque stroll
13. Laidback - almost 2nd line march - Howard flows
14. Sweet, quiet, stringy big band ballad - moving
15. Short (30 seconds) interlude
16. Driving big band soul stomp - Howard tells his story - gospelish.
This is Modern, sophisticated soul music.
