Should you want to get a feel for my first choice, which is track 8 on the CD. "They Don't Know" harks back to the recent Father's Children album and their "Something I Want To Say To You" track. Love that and you'll love this! And love it you most certainly will. The guitar in this is really something else and the groove simply stops you dead. I'd, personally, buy this CD for this track alone. Simply mouthwatering Y2K Gospel. "Sorry Is Not Enough" comes at you with a Ron Isley vocal approach and a Will Wheaton roughness, shuffling, shimmying beats and summery guitar. Love it! A strong sax opener on "Nice 'N Slow" does no harm at all, and this easy jazzy and funky offering does not disappoint. I am sure that you will especially approve of the tapping groove of "The Love Of A Woman" and the quality 2-step groove of "Very Special Lady", complete with Isleys styled guitar and sun-drenched sax. Another real winner is the Isaac Hayes styled vocal of "I Cry On The Inside". Plenty of female vocals add a sexy edge and the Spanish guitar works great too. Haunting synth and cool piano are the order of the day for the haunting "What I See In You", which delves into a great groove, tinkling ivories and moogy bass. This a a real monster and so ask that you don't overlook this cut. I am very grateful for being made aware of this. How many other gems have slipped under the net over the years?!
