Reviews

This week's reviews begin with a review of Ain’t Nobody Worryin’, the new album from Anthony Hamilton. This R&B singer reminds both of our critics of classic vocalists like Bill Withers and Bobby Womack. While keeping his day job as a barber, Hamilton began recording in Charlotte, North Carolina. He sang back-up for D’Angelo on his Voodoo our, and eventually caught the eye of mega-producer (and mega-boyfriend) Jermaine Dupri during a Grammy performance honoring Stevie Wonder. While Greg initially objected to the lack of up-tempo songs, both he and Jim appreciate the quality of the songwriting and the substance of the lyrics. Therefore Ain’t Nobody Worryin’ gets two Buy It ratings.
