Final Grade: B+

This is a solid album.  Bill's got soul like no other, and it really shines in this album.  There are a couple classics on here (namely "Use Me" and "Lean On Me") and I think they help make the album.  The grooves are fairly similar, which is one thing I loved and hated about the album.  They're so solid that I really shouldn't mind, but I just wish it would switch up a little at times.  I guess the similarities also help make the album cohesive so... I can't really hate.  Love the classical and funk elements that get splashed in every once and a while - very cool.  Solid.
