Solid deep house

"As the URB magazine review states, this is a good album. If you're familiar with Yost you should know what to expect; if you're not, this is a fine place to begin the friendship. True, the first track can throw you (in fact it put me off so much I had to play the whole album through to amend my initial opinion), but it's mostly very good quality house. Perfect lounge music, dinner party, etc."

Very, very good....

"...but, he's done better. If you're new to Kevin Yost, this one might be a difficult cd to judge because you'd have no point of reference. This is still an amazing cd, but you'd have to hear some of his other work (take Small Town Underground and Straight Out... for instance) to realize that this one, while incredible, just does not have the same vibe.If you don't know what to expect with this, it can pretty much be compared to stuff you'd find on the labels such as Naked Music, Dolce Vita, Hed Kandi, etc. In fact, it's a safe bet that you can grab any compilation by these labels and find at least one Kevin Yost song on them. It's a very deep, smooth, laid-back style of "house," very jazzy and sensual, althought I'm not sure that word is entirely accurate. In short, it's dam* good listening and perfect for an array of settings, be it sunning poolside/oceanside, or over dinner and cocktails.Again, a solid four-star release, but I would start elsewhere if this is you're first venture into Kevin Yost's work."
