Levi’s Pioneer Sessions: John Legend & The Roots

John Legend hooked up with the Roots for “Our Generation,” which is both part of the Levi’s Pioneer Session, and Wake Up!, the forthcoming collaboration album together. Legend & The Roots re-craft the 1970’s lost classic, by the great, soul singer Ernie Hines. This Legend / The Roots’s modern interpretation of “Our Generation” retains the all of the authenticity of the original track and gets funky from the outset, with big fat brass and an ice cold keyboard vamp, inspirational backing singers and a particularly gritty vocal. This is a great track so check out the behind the scenes video below and download the track here.
