4.0 out of 5 stars MARTIN LUTHER...KING...OR PRINCE?, December 1, 2005

Ahh, and here we're offered up another guitarist with Jimi and Prince on their mind. Nice. This cat comes fully loaded, even doing a stint as The Roots guitarist for a hot second. A very nice 2nd offering from this brotha. Standout cuts are "Daily Bread", "Lust" the rock infested "Rebel Soul Music", "Ms. American", the clever "NYCG", and "Muse Sick Dreamz." A very solid CD to add to your collection.

Okay, I am not going to write a state of the art review here. I don't need to, for those who have commented on this CD prior to me have done it justice! Plain and simple, this cd is BAD AS HELL!(there, I said it!) Talent on top of talent! I picked it up because I heard Martin Luther's "The I.R.S." on "Rock 'N' Roll Reparations, The Black Rock Coalition continues 20 years of collecting" (another fantastic compilation, by the way)that said, I had NO idea that this CD was going to be this good! Buy it, don't sleep on it! The influences are many, from Gil Scott Heron, EWF, Parliament to Confunkshun, Jimi Hendrix, The Isley Brothers, Fishbone and hundreds more including Hiphop, punk, jazz and then some. I suggest you take a listen to the snippets to wet your appetite, then wait anxiously to receive your copy. You'll be quite satisfied, of this I am certain! I truly hope this becomes mainstay in the future of rock/soul/music.

4.0 out of 5 stars What took me so long?, May 4, 2005

I have been waiting for an album like this! I put it on and settle in for an amazing ride. The songs each have a unique movement to them, as if they are alive and anxious to connect with anyone listening. ML is able to comment on love, life, lust and politics without coming off preachy, boring or already-been-done. I'm a fan of the entire experience, but I do have a few favorites: Growing Pains, Lust, The I.R.S. and Ms. America, just to name a few.

If you would like to hear some honest music delivered straight from the soul, with infusions of funk, rhythm and rock, you should pick up this album. The only reason it didn't get 5 stars is because I really love explosive, attention-grabbing intros, and I feel like Mr. Luther could've given it to me, but fell a little short. I was a little disappointed by that. Don't get me wrong, I love Daily Bread, I just think that Home, the 2nd track on the CD would've been a better opener. But, I know that's just me being picky, so definitely give this man a chance!
