Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, and although Lenny Kravitz's detractors would have you believe that he veers close to outright intellectual theft, there's no denying the solid body of work he's created in little over a decade. Originally derided as some kind of latter-day psychedelic soul child, Kravitz toiled away while creating memorable paisley-flavored nuggets like the dream-like title track of his debut LET LOVE RULE, and the chugging social statement "Mr. Cab Driver."
From here, Kravitz's funkier side started bubbling to the surface on the sophomore MAMA SAID. Best representing this development are the wah-wah drenched "Always on the Run" (featuring high school buddy Slash), and the Philly Soul inspired "It Ain't Over Til It's Over," a number replete with whispered falsetto and lush string arrangements. Along the way, Kravitz started establishing his love of icons like Jimi Hendrix and Led Zeppelin with hard-hitting tracks like "Are You Gonna Go My Way" (often covered live by Tom Jones), and the Grammy winning "Fly Away." Although he's had his share of missteps (a turgid cover of the Guess Who nugget "American Woman"), redemption comes with his willingness to experiment on tracks like the techno-flavored "Black Velveteen."
