O’s Notes: Al celebrates 25 years of recording with this release, his GRP debut. He varies his approach from ballads to contemporary pop. It’s all fresh and moving, even the hip-hop flavored “Last Night”. The finale “Puddit” is a vocalization of the Crusader’s “Put It Where You Want It”; an exclamation point to this balanced set.
