 Andreus Street Troubadour
| | Congratulate Chicago's Andreus for impressively accomplishing something few people care to try anymore: making a soul record in the traditional Seventies mold, preoccupied with social hardships, though not at the price of groove. Sonically, the completely self-produced Troubadour is lush enough to compete in the contemporary sphere, but it mostly follows its own insightful, peculiar muse. "For the Love of Money" pops with liquid bass, and "Hustla's Theme," an elegantly sincere tribute to the difficulties of street life, emotes with valiantly stirring strings and streetwise guitar work that sound freshly unsealed from a time capsule.
