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. | ||
