Query: Black roots

This record is a great step into new territory for Black. It is very unlike anything he has done thus far. Be warned, this is not a 'rockin' album. If you need music to be distored or 'tough' sounding this is not the record for you. However, if you have even the slightest appreciation for southern soul or American Roots music I don't see how you could dislike this album. Of the negative reviews I've seen from the Frank faithful, I can't help but think these are individuals that just can't find easy going music appealing. Whether this be the need for music to be tough to affirm image, or just the uniform lack of diversity in popular music these last dozen years, I urge the seasoned music fan to purchase this album. The musicianship and subtle instrumentation of the album are breathtaking, and Black's subdued and soulful vocals are quite impressive within the context of this new musical voice.
