Most slept on album of 2008 Nov 04, 2009 Noel Gourdin is one of those artists whose name you may not know, but you know the song that they sing. In Noel's case it's his song "The River", a song that was heard by many. He released his debut album, "After My Time", a solid effort that I think today's R&B fan is really missing out on. To be honest, I almost passed this album up and ended up buying it about six months after its initial release. After I finally purchased it I was immediately blown away at how great it was. From beginning to end, Noel shows his versatility throughout the album. You can easily tell that Sam Cooke and Al Green has influenced him a great deal. He shines on songs like "Better Man", the breakup song "Hurts Like Hell", "Open" and the Raphael Saadiq produced "P.Y.T.". However, the album's shining moment is the song about infidelity "Sorry", in which he sings with remorse and regret. I wonder what Epic Records was thinking when they didn't release this song as a single. If you're wondering whether or not to buy this album, take it from me, don't think- just do it!

Finally! May 31, 2009 THIS is R&B. Not a bad song on the CD. No lame rap/hip-hop breakdown in the middle of a song to try to achieve radio play! IF only we could get the masses to appreciate good R&B music again. Unfortunately, this project will not (has not) receive the promotion it deserves. I won't mention any names but 90% of the "R&B" on the radio today is no talent, studio enhanced GARBAGE with the rapper of the week thrown in to provide "street cred". Pick this one up if you want to hear SOUL MUSIC again.
Wish there were more like this! Apr 15, 2009 This is a great album--creative, interesting and artistic. I wish there was more of this on the radio. It's a nice sound, with musical creativity, and without offensive lyrics! Noel's voice is beautiful-- reminds me a little of Lionel Ritchie and Elliot Yamin, but with more of an R & B Soul. Please give us more!!!
Great Songs Apr 10, 2009 I love the CD. It was in good condition and the songs are wonderful. I like "old school" music and he definitely delivers.
Excellent CD Mar 20, 2009 This is a CD that you can put on and just relax. Has the old school flavor. I was really impressed and surprised that this guy has not gotten more exposure, he is certainly as good if not better than some of these artist that are on the radio or T.V. on the regular.
