"This is a winner! I'm sure my grandson will flip over this!" from gooday
This is the perfect gift if you are looking for a present for anyone over age 20 that likes R&B music, Soul, Neo-Soul, Christmas music, Ledisi, Raphael Saadiq, Eric Benet, Wayne Brady, Jennifer Hudson, Robin Thicke, John Legend or Brian McKnight.
As Christmas recordings go, The Ultimate Gift by Rahsaan Patterson is its own special animal, coming off more as a solid offering of new tracks with holiday themes than a holiday record by a great neo-soul singer. This date kicks it with solid, bright production, wonderful tunes, and Patterson in very inspired voice. Seven of these 11 cuts are originals co-written with Jamey Jaz (one of three co-producers with Patterson), though the wildly percussive and deeply funky "Christmas at My House" -- one of the best moments on this joint -- was co-written by no less than Van Hunt. There is only one traditional Christmas song on the set, which is -- thankfully -- an inoffensive and wildly innovative arrangement of "Little Drummer Boy," complete with serious breaks and slinky keys and guitars in the latter half. In addition, there is a reading of Paul McCartney's "Wonderful Christmastime" with a kickin' sax break by Derrick Edmonson. The version of the Motown classic "What Christmas Means to Me" is fantastic. (via Barnes & Noble)
