    Everything on Lay it Down is gorgeous, memorable and absolutely stunning.

    One of popular music's great voices is being flattered by his surroundings in a way he hasn't in a long, long time.

    The atmosphere is organic and engaging, the only problem being that amid the fug of good vibes, no one remembered to write a killer song. [July 2008, p.94]

    This is an amazing album that blows away all the current soul pretenders. Almost as good as his 70s masterpieces.
