5.0 out of 5 stars Before you buy anything else..., November 18, 2004
I think this is absolutely the BEST album of the last 15 years!!! I have more than 750 CDs and 300+ LPs and if I had to pick just one piece of music out of my collection to have on a deserted island this would be it. Road To Freedom has a level of depth that you haven't seen in a Soul/R&B album since Stevie Wonder's or Curtis Mayfield's work in the mid to late 70's. The fact that this group is British doubles the amazement for me. Don't get me wrong; there are a lot of great albums out there. It's just that I feel this stands far above anything else. Keep in mind that I bought this album 11 years ago and I still feel the same way about it!! I mean it! This album is that good!!

5.0 out of 5 stars any more stars?, November 11, 2004
This review is from: Road to Freedom (Audio CD)
Outstanding, deep, real, beautiful stands the test of time. I used to own this on tape and I had lost it. I thank God Almighty I found it now. This is what music is all about. Truth and just so amazing!!! My favorite track is "all I have in me" We all need a second chance.
