Release Notes:





Performed / Recorded : March 2008 (Canal+ / France)





There may have been other "retro" rock acts before him,


but Lenny Kravitz was one of the first to not be


pigeonholed to a single style as he touched upon such


genres as soul, funk, reggae, hard rock, psychedelic,


folk, and ballads over the years. Born in New York on May


26, 1964 (his mother was actress Roxie Roker, best-known


for her role as Helen Willis on the popular TV series The


Jeffersons, and his father was a TV producer), Kravitz was


raised in Los Angeles, where he found himself around


countless musical giants as a youngster due to his parents


friendships with the likes of Duke Ellington, Sarah


Vaughan, Count Basie, Ella Fitzgerald, Bobby Short, and


Miles Davis. Kravitz was a member of the California Boys


Choir until his teenage years, when he decided to pursue


rock & roll while in high school and under the heavily


influence of funk rocker Prince. Kravitz's admiration of


the Purple One was so great that he at first patterned his


style and approach directly after Prince and became known


as "Romeo Blue" (complete with blue contact lenses), but


failed to land a recording contract.





In the late '80s, Kravitz relocated back to New York City,


where one of his roommates turned out to be actress Lisa


Bonet (who played the part of Denise Huxtable on The Cosby


Show); they eventually got married. During this time,


Kravitz wisely discarded his Prince-like approach and


looked back to such '60s/'70s classic rockers as Led


Zeppelin, Jimi Hendrix, Stevie Wonder, Curtis Mayfield,


Bob Marley, and the Beatles for inspiration. Kravitz found


a kindred spirit in engineer Henry Hirsch (who would stick


by Kravitz throughout his career). With a back-to-basics


approach, his style was quite refreshing in the humorously


gaudy late '80s. He inked a recording contract with Virgin


Records and issued his debut release, Let Love Rule, in


1989. Kravitz's debut proved to be a surprise hit due to


the success of the title track, which became a hit single


and oft-aired video. A few critics were quick to assume


that Kravitz's retro look and sound were simply a shtick


to get the public's attention, but come the '90s, it had


become integrated into the mainstream (both musically and


fashion-wise), proving that Kravitz was a bit of a


trendsetter. It was around this time that Kravitz penned a


major hit single, not for himself but for Madonna, who


went to number one with the sultry track "Justify My


Love."





What should have been a time of happiness for Kravitz


quickly turned sour as he and Bonet divorced by the early


'90s. Kravitz's heartbreak was very evident in his


sophomore effort, Mama Said, which was even stronger than


its predecessor, highlighted by the Led Zep-like funk


rocker "Always on the Run" (a collaboration with Guns N'


Roses guitarist Slash), as well as the mega hit with the


Curtis Mayfield-esque soul ballad "It Ain't Over 'Til It's


Over," which confirmed that Kravitz's success was no


fluke. But the best was yet to come for Kravitz. His third


release overall, 1993's Are You Gonna Go My Way, is often


considered to be the finest album front to back of his


entire career, and with good reason: Every single song was


a winner, including the up-tempo anthemic title track,


which turned out to be one of MTV's most played videos for


that year. The album was a massive hit and Kravitz became


an arena headliner stateside, as well as being featured on


countless magazine covers.





Despite an almost two-year gap between albums, Kravitz's


fourth release, Circus, came off sounding unfocused and


was a major letdown compared to his stellar previous few


releases. Perhaps sensing that he needed to stir things up


musically, Kravitz dabbled with electronics and trip-hop


loops for his next album, 1998's 5. Although not a huge


hit right off the bat, the album proved to have an


incredibly long chart life, spawning the biggest hit of


Kravitz's career, "Fly Away," almost a year after its


original release. With the single's success, Virgin


decided to cash in on the album's sudden rebirth by


reissuing it around the same time with a pair of extra


added bonus tracks, one of which became another sizeable


hit single, a remake of the Guess Who's "American Woman"


(which was used in the hit 1999 comedy movie Austin


Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me). Kravitz's first best-of


set, the 15-track Greatest Hits, was issued as a stopgap


release in 2000, while his sixh studio release overall,


Lenny, was issued a year later. Baptism followed in 2004.


After starting a residential, commercial, and product


design company called Kravitz Design, he recorded a funky


version of John Lennon's "Cold Turkey" for Amnesty


International's 2007 benefit compilation Instant Karma.


Before the end of the year it was announced that Kravitz


would return in 2008 with a new album, It Is Time for a


Love Revolution. The album arrived in February,


accompanied by a brief tour.





In addition to his own albums, Kravitz continues to pen


songs for other artists and his compositions have appeared


on albums by such rock heavyweights as Aerosmith and Mick


Jagger, while he produced and wrote the majority of


Vanessa Paradis' obscure self-titled 1992 release.
