Music reviews of Trouble Man

Music Review: that amazon reviewer cat has his head up his arse
Rating: 5 Stars

I've never seen Trouble Man, but I listen to this all the time! In terms of the mood- it veers from sounding like a 40's Bogart detective film to (how apropos) 70's blaxploitation (with the tinsel horns)to damn near something that could have been released a week ago... Some of the tracks (T plays is cool, for example, with those thick, bone-breaking drum beats and the slick synth mixing tight with the sax- sounds like a band boxing it out- I LOVE how you expect a cymbal at the end of the stuttered tom-tom beat fill but the drummer must have left them in the van, no cymbals! It's unexpected and sweet as hell!!!!) sound so modern- they sound like they could have been put down by a R&B genius yesterday.

The jazzy interludes are deft and restrained with lush strings and evoactive sax. The bluesier momenst work well too- My only minor beef with this is that it clocks in at a little under 40 minutes... wish there were more.

Cleo's Apt with the cooing 'wooo-wooh-wooos' is seductively gorgeous, a fave. This is one of those albums you can write to or read to or kick back to, wash dishes, go running, lift, clean your car- it's infectious and immediate and dark as pitch.

Recommended for all who love marvin, funky jazz, laid-back R&B, or bleak, anguish-laden groovy music!
