Somethin' Bout Love

Amazon.com
Brian Culbertson has been working more and more with live musicians on his sessions, and it adds a new depth and stronger grooves to his floating keyboard sounds on Somethin' 'Bout Love. There are terrific guest spots by saxophonists Dave Koz and Steve Cole and organist Ricky Peterson, as well as some potent bass from Walter Tisdale. R&B singer Lori Perry increases the soul quotient on her song "Get'n Over You" as well as the concluding "I'm Gonna Miss You," a moving collaboration between Perry and Culbertson. The latter vies for top honors with the two versions of "The Secret Garden," one instrumental and the other a great feature for Donnell Spencer's voice. --Adam Rains

From Jazziz
At the start of his career, keyboardist Brian Culbertson built most of his compositions alone, using computers. But for his new record, Somethin' Bout Love, Culbertson decided it was time to perform with a real band. "When I first started out, I was using mostly MIDI keyboards," he says. "But with each record, I've slowly progressed, adding more and more musicians. Now, many of the tracks are with a full live band, which I'd not done before." Some of the smooth-jazz stars to lend Culbertson a hand include saxophonists Steve Cole and Dave Koz, bassist Wayman Tisdale, drummer Ricky Lawson, and guitarist Paul Jackson Jr. "Obviously, the more live instruments used, the more human the music is," Culbertson says. "It just feels better."

Wonderful.......2007-04-06

This is a wonderful gift for all but especially to a younger generation that loves God. I would recommend this cd as one of his best after the Pages of Life.

Fred has done it again..........2007-03-08

Great Cd, filled with a balance of praise and worship. Very easy going and enjoyable.

It's a gem!.......2006-07-13

In grad school I did a position paper on mining for diamonds and its related cost in human and economic terms. It (mining for diamonds) is an ardous process that is long and tedious. When I purchased this CD two years ago, I couldn't get with it. The extensive number of r&b/soul driven melodies weren't to my liking. Now two years later, it as if the album was released last month as I continue to play in with eager anticipation. It's a gem that reveals Fred and his musicial team ability to minister in a different vibe yet as equally effective as their other offerings. After all, why should I hold them within the same musical framework when I am growing and maturing as the years go by in the Lord! Kudos are in order for such a musical gem!

Fred's music is the TRUTH.......2006-06-27

Fred's music always touches me. He truly is a musical genius - in my book, he's up there with Prince, Stevie Wonder, Marvin Gaye, Donnie Hathaway, and so many other greats. His is the only concert I've ever been to where I bawled like a baby and couldn't find a dry eye in the house - literally. He really knows how to touch your soul, from the young to the old. This CD is just another one to add to the list of constant rotation CDs. His music never gets old or stale and this one just reaffirms his talent.

I Love This C.D.................2006-05-11

I admit it did take a while to grow on me but overall this C.D is beatiful. A few traks that you can skip over. But once you get that Core playlist that you like, YOU WILL LOVE IT

M. Gibbon "book maven".......2007-05-16

it was very nice. Not at all what i thought it would be. He's very talent. I would purchase more of his music.

Something of a let down.......2007-04-27

Some reviews on here are so longgg on here its like reading a book, but i will not bore you in the slightest. The first cd i bought from Brian Culbertson was Nice n Slow, good album and the 2nd It's on Tonight great album, since then i have got 2 more After Hours and Come on up, now onto my latest aquasition Somethin' Bout Love , which in my opinion is a definate step back from the Fantastic cd After Hours from 1996 [ all instrumentals] so why oh why Brian did we need all the collabrations which are basically Soul, sorry but i don't get it ? or was it it seemed like as good idea at the time ummm bad idea me thinks , a let-down Brian, looking forward to your next studio album whenever that may be.

Love this album..........2005-08-23

I had never heard Brian Culbertson before this album. It is gorgeous. It inspired me to purchase more by him and I have not been disappointed.

WOW!!!!! What Soulful Spendor!!!!.......2005-06-25

Brian Culbertson has the potential to go far, very far with his music. Mature beyond his bio-years, Brian has accomplishments on various musical levels. He plays several musical instruments besides his excellent work on the keyboards. He began piano at the age of 8 but within 4 years he had already mastered several other instruments. He is a composer plus a musical arranger.

The songs on this cd are magnifique. The opening title song "Something 'Bout Love" was co-written by Brian. This is a mellow composition with the emphasis on Brian's fine keyboard abilities. He plays keyboards, piano, trumpet, and trombone on this song. "Do You Really Love Me" was written by Brian and he plays keyboards and piano. "Get'n Over You" is a smooth R&B ballad written and performed by Lori Perry. She has a touch of Phyllis Hyman in her voice. There are two versions of "The Secret Garden" which was written by a collaberation of artists and originally introduced by the great Quincy Jones. Brian does these songs brilliantly in both versions as if they were made for him. Instrumentally he plays piano, keyboards, drum programming and synth bass. All of the remaining tracks are either compositons written exclusively by Brian or co-written by Brian. In most of the songs he plays multi-instruments. Accomplished guest musicians joining Brian are Paul Jackson Jr., Dave Koz, Ricky Peterson, and Michael White.

Brian Culbertson has a wonderful sense of musicianship well beyond his years. He can be mellow, funky, or soulful and very accomplished at each. As he continues to mature Brian's music has a rich depth that far surpasses expectations. Looking forward to hearing much, much more from this multi-talented musician.

So nice to make love to...........2003-05-18

I first heard a "Somethin' Bout Love" on the radio and had to have it. Then I heard the entire CD and it blew me away with its smooth, sexy feel. This CD is THE one to play next time you are spending an intimate evening with the one you love....thank you Brian for giving us this sensual set.
