I give this album 5 Stars Out of 5! It's slammin'! If you love Funk and Jazz combined together, you will dig this album.

The RH Factor, Distractions - Original Release Date: May 2nd, 2006. Verve Records
Track List:
1. Distractions (Intro) - Nice!
2. Crazy Race - Love this one to death! Renee Neufville scatting the lyrics.
3. Kansas City Funk - Imagine a Moog, a Rhodes, a Wurlitzer. Tight drumsticks.
4. On the One (Renee Neufville) - In the pocket! A serious two-step groove. Perfect. Just listen to it and see what I mean.
5. Family - Mellow. Smooth. Nice!
6. Distractions 2 - A funky lil segue.
7. A Place - Funky! Sounds like some old George Clinton Parliament Funkadelic.
8. Hold On - Love that horn section.
9. Bull***t (D'Angelo - Horn arrangement by Roy Hargrove) - Sounds like something that could have been on D's Voodoo.
10. Distractions 3 - Straight ahead quick funky Jazz segue.
11.Can't Stop - Funky jam. It's serious. Sounds like something Prince would do doing Housequake live.
12. Distractions 4 - Funky organ solo by Bobby Sparks. Fierce trumpet solo by Roy Hargrove. On fire.
