iTunes Review
The best albums are worlds unto themselves, demanding to be absorbed start to finish in one listen. This beguiling effort from Olu Dara takes the listener on a journey to the center of American music, from the blues to funk and jazz. Dara, who cut his teeth on the free-jazz scene as a trumpeter in the '70s and '80s, wrote the songs, sings most of 'em, and plays guitar and cornet on this sexy, globe-trotting album. Too often projects like this get over-produced, but the album is rough-edged and has a mellow pace. It exudes a subdued joy that's totally infectious.

A Real Joy
by MarkyTI borrowed this album off my girlfriend's brother, and have been listening to it ever since.. a really uplifiting happy sound, uses a lot of great African rhythms, married with southern US blues - very special.
In the world: From Natchez to New York
by fanomusicIf you want to hear true talent...Olu Dara's sound is so primal and untampered with that it sound new and more evolved with each repeated listening. I have had the album since 1998 and have yet to tire of it.
Oh Yeah, his son is the rapper NAS--talent runs in the family, i guess.
