  • Overall:

    PK truly the overlords of R&B

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Dec 6, 1999

    In a world where the term "R&B" is severely overused and abused, Toronto's Philosopher Kings have taken the genre to new heights. A little bit of blues, a little bit of soul, and a little bit of the funk create an eclectic mix that is not only easy ...to listen too, but challenges the listener to get his/her groove thing shaking. The vocal range of lead singer Gerald Eaton is phenomenal, and the rest of the band, (Jason and Jon Levine Bros., and guitarists James McCollum and Brian West) provide a tight, polished sound that makes for, in this reviewers opinion, one of the greatest make-out CDs of all time!

Pro Reviews: Philosopher Kings

  • All Music Guide

    When the Philosopher Kings breezed onto the scene in 1994, radio was a battleground between Stone Bush Jam and weightless dance music. By comparison, Philosopher Kings was a breath of fresh air, to use the old cliché. Although the material was soulful and funky, the basic underpinning of what the group did was smoky vocal jazz. Throughout the album, it works beautifully, mixing the best of old and new into a thoughtful brew that stands up to repeated listenings. The band's interpretation of Dylan's "Just Like a Woman" is a particular highlight.
