Description
As part of its best-selling anthology series, SoulMusic Records presents its first reissue of music by an artist who first came to prominence in the late '80s. "Never Too Busy - The Anthology" is a solid retrospective on Kenny Lattimore, unquestionably one of the most consistent and successful mainstays in the arena of 'new generation' R&B and soul music that began taking root some two decades ago.
Primarily drawn from Kenny's two Columbia albums and his 2001 Arista album, this sumptuous 2-CD set (produced by Donald Cleveland, who provided stellar mastering and who conceived the idea for the anthology, and SoulMusic Records' founder David Nathan) also includes two of Kenny's duets with (former spouse) Chante Moore, as well as tracks from his sole 1989 album with the group Maniquin, some rare remixes on key hits ('If I Lose My Woman', 'Days Like This', 'Just What It Takes' and the 1996 US hit, 'Never Too Busy') as well as guest appearances on the soundtracks for "Love Jones" and "The Best Man" with smooth jazz guitarist Peter White; and a rare track ('If You Could See You (Through My Eyes)' from 1998 sessions with producer David Foster. Liner notes by David Nathan include quotes from an extensive 2018 interview with Kenny.
