5.0 out of 5 stars Incredible Live Music Featuring a Legend! Review of 1 song only, May 7, 2010

I haven't heard the whole album, however, I got the opportunity to hear the song "All Falls Down" featuring Kanye West while listening to [...]. The live version of this song is melodic, playful and definitely soulful. It's tricky when you put a rap/hip hop artist on a record because you never know what to expect or what you're going to get. However, Kanye proves to be an exception on this cut! The acoustics are on point, the background vocals are awesome and of course John brings his game face every time! The song is nostalgic for me because it reminds me of my childhood growing up in New York City. This record just moves me and takes me to another level - with it being sung to a live audience makes for a mixture of beautiful sounding "soul sessions" that move the spirit, warm the heart and make you feel good deep down inside!
