John Legend & The Roots: Wake Up!
May 13th, 2011 by gcunniff
“Bustling through funk, Philly soul and gospel, taking on songs famous (Marvin Gaye’s “Wholy Holy”) and obscure (Mike James Kirkland’s “Hang on in There”), Legend and the Roots capture the old feeling of protest and uplift while updating the sound. They’re not imitators — they’re heirs.” –Rolling Stone
