The multi talented Rod Kelley never forgot what his mother told him, that he could be “anything he wanted to be”. It inspired him to make music. He opens ‘Mama’s Boy’ with the languid, easy grooving ‘Moments’ that he co-writes with long time collaborator Todd Bethel. It shimmers with the African rhythms that he holds so dear and carries the message that we should savor every precious moment that life presents to us. The album’s central theme is spectacularly brought to mind by the spine tingling ‘Mothers Love’ ..., an authentic slice of nostalgia laden, old school soul.
