I have been a big fan of Leon Ware's music for decades; however as much as I love his work, I have never been as thoroughly satisfied with his solo albums as I have been with his latest "Moon Ride". On "Moon Ride" he really brings it all together like the elder statesman he is and offers a master class on seductive soul music. All of the Leon Ware tropes are here - the whisper like voice, the erotic imagery, the soothing arrangements, gentle rhythms and great musicianship. This is midnight music to fuel your passions - each track works together to create a cohesive sensuous soundtrack. Break out the massage oil! If Marvin Gaye was alive he probably would have begged Leon to give him "Moon Ride" as the sequel to their "I Want You" project from the mid 70s. It is its worthy successor. Highly recommended.

Honestly, I feel like this album doesn't really show Leon Ware's remarkable songwriting abilities. The whole album is fairly bland IMO, and overuses the romantic classical guitar noodles. It's just a matter of taste I guess. Musical Massage has a lot more variety and well-written songs.

Leon Ware in a brand new album; If you are into the classic Soul, Marvin Gaye and the temptations, this album will do very well on your CD player. Leon Ware is a very experienced soul singer and he delivers a constant and tight album from start to finish. It is not a highly memorable album however very pleasant to the ears and soul

I heard this cd on Itunes before I decided to buy it. For the most part it is a great body of work. I love the lyrics and the music. This cd is worth the money for those who are still interested in the honest integrity of good soul music with a calmness to it. Enjoy!

leon Ware is back, with a set that we are
familiar with, after his disapointing
candlelight cd. This is a return to the
soulful sexy romatic ballads. This is not
equal to his best cd Taste, but still there
are no duds here. the cd is in the same groove
as the I want U set. the only thing missing
is that echoey effect used on the mix during
the I want u sessions. Still I recomend this cd.
the best cut? I like Locians,if for nothing else
it's metphor, but make your choice there are many.
