Very nice & mellow groove He, his brother and cousin were Tony! Toni! Tone! [late 80's , early 90's] They had very decent material.

He, his brother and cousin were Tony! Toni! Tone!

I didn't know that. I don't have any of their tunes but I will the next time I see an album of theirs floating in cyberspace.

Soul-Sides has posted several bonus tracks:

"Call it the gift that keeps on giving (well, ok, more like a smart marketing idea) but while Saadiq's new album has been gaining all sorts of fans with each passing week, he's helping maintain interest by putting up several bonus tracks on different versions of the album. (Thanks to Eric Luecking for keeping me up to date).

Both keep true, more or less, to the sound and style of the album itself, especially "Kelly Ray" which clearly nods to the aesthetics of the Hi Records Rhythm section (down to the that signature, heavy Al Jackson backbeat). However, I'm a bigger fan of "Seven," which doesn't hew so closely to any single style though the fuzzy guitar reminds me of something out of Motown's early '70s, psychedelic-influenced years. And unlike the light, pop-y lyrics of "Kelly Ray," this song is both personal and topical - powerful stuff."

The bonus tracks fall a little short of the rest of the album imo. That is not to say they are not good. The album is sooo strong it makes these tracks a little sub par in comparison. As slum goddess would say, "Your mileage may vary".

The mileage may vary, but they're cheaper and better than what you pay at the tank :)
