one year passes...

Discovered Durand Jones's Wait Til I Get Over on AOTY -- one of the highest rated (in aggregate) albums of the year; ht to stevie, as well, who mentioned him in the AOTY thread.

I'm not well read on the neo soul movement but I was enamored with how lo-fi and gritty a lot of this record sounds. His voice is obviously incredible, too. And from what I can glean from reviews, it's a deeply personal and substantive record, though I admittedly need to dig into the lyrics more. It's really, really good.

My son has been hepping me to this stuff, sending me Durand Jones and Lee Fields CDs as Christmas gifts. I'm a big fan.
