Raphael Saadiq Live Tracks For Free

Go over to Daytrotter right this very instant and download a stellar live session from Raphael Saadiq. Last year’s The Way I See It, was a delight, capturing the vibe and playfulness of ’60s Motown, early Philly International, and the Impressions, among many other signposts. These four songs, impeccably recorded and performed (complete with some snazzy barroom piano), only increase my frustration that Saadiq’s recent work hasn’t resulted in Grammy-winning superstardom.
