If you buy the Japanese Version of stoned 1 it has the bonus track of 'electric ladyland' which is sublime.

Lewis played the intro to 'sign of the times' at one of his Jazz Cafe gigs in April last year.

I can't really single out any particular album they are most excellent.


If I was new to Lewis I would start from the beg and work your way up to his latest release.

I love all his work.


If pushed I'm very fond of the time seq on 'the way you done me' and the guitar work at the end from Stoned 1.

I also admire the guitar work at the end of 'danm' and how it just explodes at the end from his debut album.

I like the ltd 2004 edt because I think 'no hope in here' is worth 100 cds. I also like 'back together' this song could have been written by Steely Dan.The new version of 'lovelight' is very west coast and superb.

Really he sets a such a fantastic benchmark no wonder fellow musicians rate him.
Chaka Khan is another fan as is Hamish Stuart co writer of AWB.

He is also very generous allowing free downloads of his music on the fan site so really folks you should support him monetary and buy his stuff to enable this voice of a angel to continue making this music.

I've never met ANYONE who I played his music too say anything less that this guy is superb.

To me it is like he has just been dropped out from the sky and he IS manna from heaven.

I have to say that I have listened to "Electricladyland" and I'm already digging his stuff... Now I just can't wait to get a hold of his first album... That's what I get for living in the sticks...

as great as the first album is, I'm diggin' Lewis II even more...he kinda takes it a step further with that album: the track, "You Make Me Wanna" is dangerous - his funky organ solo in the middle is off tha Hook! but, yeah, the whole album, from "Party" to "On The Floor", to "The Way You Done Me" "Blue Eyes", is pretty impressive...and oh yeah, he creates everything in his home, Yet it sounds freer and more open (and more professional) than 99.9% of today's expensive studio productions...

Chaka and Hamish Stuart are fans, too? Kool!!

OK who put up the Mp3's with scratches in them?

Thanks for the heads up on this one Pali!

I know, it's the website mp3s... I gotta hunt down the original CD single, so I can have a better version of "Pie in Electric Sky"...

Unfortunately not if you are in the U.S. I know stores like Amoeba and Dusty Groove carry them in-store as imports. But you won't be able to go into any Best Buy, Tower etc and find them.

Damn, Raphael Saadiq, Amp Fiddler, and Bryan Ferry are fans, too... I've never heard of somebody this far underground having this much rep...in Rock, R&B, Hip Hop, Pop.....

WHOA. DO NOT got to Amazon. Those prices are OUT OF CONTROL!!! I don't care how good this cat is...I'm not paying those prices!!!!!

SteamForest said:

Usually, Amazon will link you to independent sites selling it used or at a much cheaper price.

That's how I got my hands on a copy. Actually, I'm still waiting on it to arrive.

SteamForest said:

Yeah, they all got me wanting to get ALL of his albums... I never got to thank them all... Thank you, thank you...

paligap said:

Awesome, thank you !

Okay people I just received both LT & LTII this week and all I can say is

and I haven't even listened to LTII yet. I can't believe this cat was off of my radar for so long.

Yeah, Same here! His song, "Consider" (from 'Limited Edition 2004') is STILL Kickin' my Ass!!...Man, I would love To get Prince , Herbie Hancock, Joe Zawinul, and Jim Beard in a room together, to listen to this track (Stevie, too! )...They would Freak Out!!

...and btw, you're right, that first album is No Joke!!
