Willie Norwood, the father of pop/R&B music superstars
Brandy and
Ray J, shows where they get their skills from on this, his debut recording.
'Bout It encompasses a gamut of musical styles: soul and pop as well as traditional gospel. Featured are covers of the
Stevie Wonder gospel composition "Have a Talk With God," along with the
Jackie DeShannon-penned inspirational classic, "Put a Little Love in Your Heart." The hymn "Have Thine Own Way" pairs
Norwood with
Ray J vocally. Popular gospel group
the Williams Brothers penned and contributed backing vocals to the tracks "The Search Is Over" and "No Limit." The gospel classic "I'd Trade a Lifetime" takes
Norwood back to his early years in the church. The track features a guest appearance from keyboard legend
Billy Preston.
Brandy teams up with dad on the lushly produced inspirational track "A Love Shared." The track also features some stellar sax work from
Kirk Whalum. If nothing else,
'Bout It shows that
Willie Norwood does have skills. ~ Tim A. Smith
