    Breaking down my favorite track from Meshell Ndegeocello's 1993 debut album, PLANTATION LULLABIES (Maverick), and the 3 ways she makes a perfect groove on 3 different instruments in one song (3 bass lines!). I'll break down what makes her playing style so unique and personal and shout out her supporting cast on this record, including the amazing Luis Conte, pianist Bobby Lyle, and the great guitarist Wah-Wah Watson. This funk, soul, jazz, alternative, hip hop record set the table for all of neo-soul and blazed a trail for one of the baddest bassists of the last 30 years.

    I remember my first time hearing her too. It was 3 AM after a gig, I was almost home and the track, Diggin' You (Like and Old Soul Record) came on. I had to go around the block a bunch of times because the DJ played about 3 or 4 more songs before saying who she was. I went to my favorite record store with my favorite, most knowlegeable record store owner and said "I heard this song on the radio the other day, her first name is Meshell…
    He reached under the counter and pulled out the store copy of Plantation Lullabies, "you mean this?" He sold it to me even though the record wasn't officially released yet.
    I had to buy that record 4 times because I'd loan it to people and not get it back

    Yeah, M'shell is one of the greatest bast player actually, not only because of her techniques but mostly because now she writes her lines. She is a great composer and arranger.

    As soon as I heard "if that's your boyfriend" on MTV I bought the album. To this day it is one of my favorites.

    I fed myself a steady diet of this record when i was younger. Her melodies and vocal are equally impressive.

    “Boyfriend” is one of my favorite 90’s tracks. Love what she does with the bass. Very underrated.

    'Call Me' is Meshell's best song in her catalog. I have listened to this song at least once a month since its release.

    I saw her live in San Diego, an evening of beautiful music. Highly recommend live, too.

    Thank you so much, Paul, for the reminder. I had to re-purchase this after checking out this vid as - and I had forgotten - someone stole my copy of this album a few years back. Great, GREAT, tribute!!!
