33. Raphael Saadiq - Stone Rollin'
Raphael Saadiq is an old school R&B revivalist. Originally born Charles Ray Wiggins (Raphael Saadiq is way cooler than Chuck Wiggins), he started out in the group Tony! Toni! Tone! before embarking on his solo career. This is his fourth release and my favorite so far. With guests like Robert Randolph and the former Earth, Wind & Fire keyboardist, Larry Dunn, as well as Yukimi Nagano of Little Dragon. My friend Corey turned me onto this guy and I haven't turned back. Lots of great grooves and a little underlying funk and blues jams in some of the songs.
