Words can't describe what I felt when I first listened to this album. I'm ony 27 and am an acknowledged hip hop head, but I've always been able to appreciate good music. This album is quality material in its truest form. Lalah has long been one of my favorites and definitely underrated as an artist. Her father IS my favorite and everytime I hear her I hear him. Joe Sample is a musical sage. His piano playing is incomparable. 'When Your Life Was Low' is absolutely incredible. The entire album is hot to death!! I called my father and told him that if he doesn't buy another album in life, he needs to buy this one. Proof enough?
