    Eclectic, soulful and refreshing, Cool Uncle is a must-hear.

    When one year gives you so many different options, a fun record that doesn't take itself seriously like Cool Uncle feels like icing.

    Were they to pare the album down, losing some of the studio excesses, Cool Uncle would easily stand non-ironically with some of the best AOR has to offer. As it stands, the album holds a number of fascinating ideas and carries an inherent reverence for both Caldwell and his era that keep things from falling into parody.

    The mix of guests, which includes Deniece Williams, CeeLo Green, and Jessie Ware (who once covered Caldwell), add to the album's cross-generational character.
