George Benson may have changed labels with That's Right, but he didn't change his approach.
Like his other '90s albums, That's Right is jazz-inflected quiet-storm soul.
It's quietly funky and always grooving, whether he's playing a light uptempo number or a silky ballad.
As always, Benson's tone is smooth and supple -- it's a pleasure to hear him play, even if the material he has selected doesn't always showcase his ample skills.
In fact, the unevenness in material is the very thing that keeps That's Right from being on par with Benson's early '80s contemporary soul records.
Although the sound is right, and Benson's heart is clearly in it, he just doesn't have quite enough memorable melodies to make the album thoroughly engaging.
Still, the joy that is readily apparent within his performance makes That's Right a worthy acquisition for fans of Benson's latter-day recordings.
