Raise up

"Raise Up, Graham's first album in 13 years, is full of delectable funk goodies perfectly capable of whetting the appetite of both the newly initiated and the old-school believers ... With a fluidity similar to a live performance, Raise Up is a concept album only in the very loosest sense. Wanting to tell a complete story, Graham merges calls to action with uplifting songs of hope and love".

"Everything seems to have been written and recorded for the purpose of live performance -- one that has the crowd dancing and singing along as it switches its gaze between the leader, primary bandmembers, and the horn section and backing vocalists as well ... Each performer gets her or his time to shine. It plays out like a well-organized throwdown. Graham, of course, is the center of it all with his deep baritone and nimble basslines".
