Eric Roberson - Esoteric

Review: 'The genesis of a modern soul genius -- Eric Roberson's first album, finally back in print, and filled with a wonderful assortment of early work! Eric kind of set this one up as an introduction to his wide range of talents -- including notes in the booklet about each tune and the story of it's development -- and, in keeping with his strong sense of good spirits, also giving credit to other artists, producers, and friends who helped him find his sound. The sound is quite similar to work on Eric's seminal Vault albums -- mellow, but never slick or smooth -- and in a warmly personal style that's made Roberson one of the greatest underground soul artists working today! Titles include 'Genesis', '4U', 'Runaway', 'Morning After', 'Crazy', 'Rain On My Parade', 'Woman', 'New Born Child', 'She Went Away', and 'Funny Feelings.'....Dusty Groove America.
