192. Uncle Sam - Uncle Sam (1997)

Boyz II Men launched their Stonecreek label in 1996 having had 2 massive albums and a couple of the highest selling singles ever. Their first (and only) signee to this ill-fated label was Uncle Sam, and despite the somewhat dodgy cover there is a lot to like about his debut album. He certainly has the vocal ability to stand his ground on an album awash with Boyz II Men backing vocals and stylistic tics. The album has a number of nice tracks such as "Can You Feel It", "You Make Me Feel Like", and the absolute stand out, the Shawn Stockman penned "Leave Well Enough Alone". It does tend to fade a bit toward the end of the album but overall, this is a nice album to just chuck on and chill out to.
