i LOVE yall's sound. i'm a one man band with an 8 track and i write ALL my own material, play all the instruments separately myself. search for "scott allen band" on you tube. thanx everybody.
Im totally in love with the bass, especially when it does that little walkdown! And the "yeeeeah" in the background totally completes the song. And the wah on the guitar is pretty tubular, too!
somewhere bill withers is smiling...and for you young en's who don't know who bill withers..look em up...he was aloe blacc when you were still in yer daddy's beanbag.
Amazing artist! I've been listening to more of this genre I've been looking for more great music. If anyone has some suggestions since all my friends listen to eminem and electronic music. I could use some assistance finding this real music!
DAAMMMMMMNNN! You can't mimic a sound like that from another time, another generation. This guy inherited it from his elders! I remember the stuff my dad used to listen to right around the time he read Roots by Alex Haley and followed Mohammad Ali's career etc etc. This is it. We need a revival. Your nostalgia is better than Xanax for all the young people that don't remember. Blacc is a time machine!
@sprague916 It was written for the Tanqueray commercial, so you can't really say it was on the album first... And buying the album doesn't make you a true fan.
dream to have listeners of all ages love the thing I do...I sing from the heart and stay true
I know all of us have dreams and i know my dream can come true with ur help by going on my channel thats all it takes
In the future, I wish to create videos of me singing originals songs. I just hope to have followers when I post them.
And If Everyone Could Just "Thumbs Up" This Comment So Everyone Sees.its just a simple press of a button that could make my dream come true thank you all
@sprague916 He asked where he could download it, not where he could buy it. I really couldn't care less if you don't consider me a "real fan" for doing that which btw I haven't.
@Flightkid9 I don't give a shit what you do, downloading doesn't support the music he's making they put out albums for the people who care for it before it was on a tanquery commercial.
I'd heard of Aloe Blacc before I need a dollar was big, that was the first song I heard by him on last.fm on my xbox, just random encounter. So glad I discovered him because there's a lack of real musicians/singers these days who can do it not only without autotune, but also sound magnificent whilst doing so.
@OneAndOnlyMrWest Well aren't you special? You heard of him before some other people did. Would you like a hero cookie? A ticker tape parade, perhaps? Aren't you just a special, unique little snowflake...just like everyone else. Everybody's heard, seen, done, ate something before it became cool at some point it means absolutely nothing except you stumbled onto a little earlier than some other people did. Big....freakin....whoop.
I heard it on the commercial too, and was like, wha? I just recently discovered Rapheal Saadiq, so my ears have been well fed. Love, love, love this music.
