Product Description

Surpassing his creative and personal boundaries, Richie comes full circle with the innovative and personal TUSKEGEE, performing 13 of his most revered "anthems of our day" with some of the biggest names in country music, including Sugarland's Jennifer Nettles, Tim McGraw, Blake Shelton, Darius Rucker, Rascal Flatts, Kenny Chesney, Billy Currington, Little Big Town and Jason Aldean.

From the Artist

"I was born and raised in Tuskegee, Alabama. I am a country boy and proud of it. To do this project just felt natural," says Richie.

"Growing up with country, R&B, gospel, and classical music from my grandmother and pop, Tuskegee was the perfect melting pot for my influences as a writer," he says, "and the title, Tuskegee, is a validation of my growing up there--the place I call home."

"As my songwriting progressed, I realized that my songs perfectly translated to the country genre," says the living legend as he taps on the keys of the piano in his state-of-the-art recording studio.

"What began as a collaboration of talented people ended up being a great group of friends getting together to make great music," says Richie.

"Tuskegee is a state of mind as it is a place," he adds, "...a place of possibility, hope, promise, self-empowerment, and where dreams come true."

5.0 out of 5 stars A fresh approach breathes new life into a baker's dozen of Lionel Richie's biggest and best tunes.
Reviewed in the United States on March 30, 2012
Verified Purchase
For more than a decade Lionel Richie was one of America's most consistent hit makers. First as lead singer of The Commodores and then as a popular solo act Richie racked up nearly two dozen Top Ten hits between 1975 and 1987. But after departing Motown in the early 1990's the hits simply stopped coming. Richie continued to record with some intermittent success but for all intents and purposes it appeared that Lionel Richie's days as a major recording artist were over. A few months back I read that Richie had gone back into the studio to record a new album called "Tuskegee". Oddly enough the album bears the name of the Alabaman city where Lionel Richie was born but "Tuskegee" may also come to represent the name of the record that turned his recording career around. We'll see. I sampled this recording for the first time today and I must tell you that I was extremely excited about what I heard. It is a great disc!

"Tuskegee" offers up fresh and innovative arrangements of 13 of Lionel Richie's most popular recordings of all-time. Adding to the excitement is the fact that Richie is paired on each and every tune with one of the biggest names in country music. I am here to tell you that there is not a weak track in the lot. Fans of The Commodores will be pleased to discover that a pair of hits from this period have been included including a terrific version of the 1979 hit "Sail On" (with Tim McGraw) and "Easy" where Lionel is joined by the legendary 78 year old singer/songwriter Willie Nelson. Great stuff! The remaining 11 tunes on the album were culled from Lionel Richie's days as a solo artist. While I enjoyed just about every song on this disc I would have to count among my favorites "Stuck On You" where Lionel is joined by Darius Rucker who some might remember as the lead singer of Hootie & the Blowfish. I would also recommend to you the the rip-roaring new version of "Dancing On The Ceiling" with Rascal Flatts and the sensational "All Night Long" where our star is joined by Jimmy Buffett & the Coral Reefer Band. Folks, this one is definitely better than the original! Sugarland's Jennifer Nettles proves to be more than up to the task on "Hello" while septuagenarian Kenny Rogers just dropped in to see what condition his condition was in and does an admirable job teaming up with Lionel on "Lady". And I would be remiss if I failed to mention the outstanding remake of "Endless Love" which features Shania Twain. That one has been released as the lead single from the album and appears to be making some noise on the Billboard Hot 100 Singles chart.

Now it is quite clear to me that "Tuskegee" was a labor of love for just about everyone who was involved. This is a well-conceived and exquisitely executed project that should shoot to the top of the charts and propel Lionel Richie back into the spotlight. Kudos to the producers, musicians and all of the recording artists for making this such an enjoyable album. Since I find there is so little music to get excited about these days I had absolutely no problem in rating "Tuskegee" the maximum five stars. This is one disc I am going to play again and again. Very highly recommended!

As soon as I learned that Lionel Richie's album Tuskegee would be available, I pre-ordered it. It was a long wait, with delays in production, but when it finally arrived in my mailbox, I knew it was worth the wait. The hype for the cd has been intense, but not one moment has oversold the superb quality. From first track to last, the music is gorgeous to listen to. LR has kept these recordings true to his own style, and beautiful and moving. But he has also managed to incorporate the talent of each of his guests. They have been honest,not only with Lionel's music, but with their own styles. At one level, you could almost be hearing LR from years and years ago; that is because, as I said, he keeps honest and true to his music. But at another level, you are caught into his guests' unique voices. There is no distortion here, no fancy pseudo-updating of this beautiful music. I was so pleased with the honesty and beauty, that I thought I'd listen again--maybe just to catch a flaw or untrue moment. In my opinion there are not any. He has matched the song to the artist--or, if I remember correctly, the artist chose the song. Brilliant. LR says that his guests already knew the songs (who wouldn't) and their familiarity with the words, melody, and just of the clean and lovely emotion in the songs heightens (although never to take away from the beauty of the original) the richness of this decade's interpretations. I loved all the tracks, but the one that surprised me with its great power was Hello, with Jennifer Nettles. Here is the heart and soul of LR's great talent. It seems to be the most different from the original of all the tracks--thus my surprise--but I loved it! The wisdom of all LR's judgments in interpretation is evident in the complete and whole beauty, but different tracks may surprise people with new emotions.
I love this. Not only am I not disappointed, I am thrilled. Thanks, Lionel. thanks very very much.

5.0 out of 5 stars Richie music done country is amazing
Reviewed in the United States on June 4, 2012

The concept of redoing Lionel Richie classic songs interpreted in the country music style works superbly. The choice of songs is excellent and the country stars chosen to pair with him on each are perfection. What is amazing here is that all these songs more than stand the test of time. Here they take on new life. Each was a Lionel Richie masterpiece at the time of their creation, interpreted in his r&b soulful style. Now they seem to take on even more emotion and new depth with the country interpretations. With each track Lionel and his duet partners both put their heart and soul into the vocals. From beginning to end there is no miiss track and the journey is one of great emotional depth.

For me the standouts are YOU ARE featuring Blake Shelton, DANCING ON THE CEILING featuring Rascal Flatts, SAIL ON featuring Tim McGraw, JUST FOR YOU featuring Billy Currington, LADY featuring Kenny Rogers and ALL NIGHT LONG featuring Jimmy Buffet. And managing to rise above these stellar tracks are the mezmerizing HELLO featuring Jennifer Nettles and ENDLESS LOVE featuring Shania Twain. ENDLESS LOVE more than any of the other songs here has a place in musical history and memories for many. This reinterpretation doesn't make the listener compare it to the Diana Ross duet. Instead it takes on a whole new passion and intensity.

The fact that this concept and the cd as a whole works so amazingly well is a true testament to the talent of Lionel Richie. This is in no way a gimmick cd. The success acquired here only stands to the true quality and magic of each song. This cd is a keeper and a must have for Lionel Richie fans, country and r&b music fans alike and just fans of quality music. Here music becomes a celebration and each track an emotional tour de force. Highest kudos to all involved.

Tja, da kann man zu dem alten Mann stehen, wie man will, aber er kann's noch. Die Lieder - teilweise noch aus Commodores Zeiten - wirken frisch und gut arrangiert. Natürlich ist Lionel Richie ein Schmusesänger, dem die Frauen vertrauen, aber er hat auch den Soul im Blut und auch Country und auch Funk.
Wenn man dann seine eigenen Produkte mit so viel Spaß und guter Unterstützung noch im fortgeschrittenen Alter neu darbieten kann, ist das doch alles, wofür Musik steht. Gute Laune, Rhythmus, Herz und manchmal Schmerz. Weiter so, alter Mann.
