Title: Euphoria
Label: Liaison Records
Product Type: COMPACT DISCS

2014 release, the 17th studio album from the veteran vocalist nicknamed the Prince of Sophisticated Soul. The winning formula of EUPHORIA is not about what gets added, but more a matter of addition by subtraction. A slick 'less is more' production approach by the team of Will Downing, keyboardists Chris Big Dog Davis and Mike Logan, push his rich baritone vocals to the forefront and creates a more intimate Soul-lounge feel, complete with upright bass licks and brushed drum strokes. Within this format, Downing deftly swings from R&B to Blues to Blue-Eyed Soul to Jazz to a Brazilian classic sung in Portuguese. The term Grown Folk's Music is over-used for sure, but there's almost no other way to describe the incredible variety offered on this release or the maturity required to truly appreciate it.
