The Artist's Roots Run DeepWhen I bought this CD, I was expecting to hear some tunes randomly slapped together from the Prince archives. I was very wrong. This CD is, artistically speaking, perhaps some of the best stuff from Prince I've heard since Sign O' The Times. Sometimes B.B. King-like blues, sometimes Miles Davis-like jazz, Prince takes a cool stroll down music history lane and does it in his unmistakable style. I put this CD on during a dinner party and even my traditionally Prince non-fan friends were impressed.…
Entertaining, With Reservations...Obviously Prince would never have released this material were it not to complete his contract for Warners. That having been said, any chance to hear some of what resides in his musical vault is welcome by me. It's About That Walk, 5 Women, When The Lights Go Down, Sarah, and Old Friends For Sale make this set worthwhile. I do agree, however, with some of the commentators who've stated that the version of Old Friends included here doesn't equal the more stripped down and personal version that has been floating around for years on bootleg.
