    A quietly retro mix of guitars and organ-fueled songs, the music simmers rather than boils over.

    For the most part, Are You Passionate? feels like an after-hours session, its songs weary and a little lost, but at times, Young makes those qualities work for him.

    It's not bad, it's just so goddamn mediocre.

    An album that is a real grower - the soulful side of the legend. This is a lost classic.
