High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Stone Rollin` is the fourth studio album by American recording artist Raphael Saadiq, released March 25, 2011, on Columbia Records. Recording sessions for the album took place at Blakeslee Recording Company in Los Angeles during 2009 to 2010. Inspired by the loud, raw sound of his live performances, Saadiq worked with recording engineer and long-time collaborator Chuck Brungardt to produce a grittier, more aggressive sound for the album. Primarily performed by Saadiq, Stone Rollin` expands on the classicist, soul music style of his previous 2008 album, The Way I See It, with other R B styles, including funk, blues, and rock music. Music writers have noted the album for its stylistic breadth, groove-based compositions, contemporary detail, varied subject matter, and incorporation of the Mellotron keyboard.
