album review

This is Roger Troutman's first solo release, and it blazes the same trail as the Zapp LPs. Singing through a synthesized vocal box, there's no mistaking Roger's sound. His version of Norman Whitfield and Barrett Strong's "I Heard It Through the Grapevine" is classic, and was a monster on the R&B charts. "So Ruff, So Tuff" continued the maddening dance grooves. But Roger does it all -- hence the title of the album -- his blues and jazz explorations are top-shelf. A very well-rounded set from a versatile, underappreciated artist. [The 2002 Rhino reissue sports three additional bonus tracks.] ~ Andrew Hamilton, All Music Guide
