"It's a stone cold heart that can resist the soul-soothing grooves, meditative funk and "love heals" missive of Naomi and The Courteous Rudeboys. Their brand new LP, Beautiful Beings, is a triumphant amalgam of funk and soul, driven by a tight-knit instrumental ensemble replete with sexy bass lines and full-bodied percussion, and buoyed by the equal parts sass and sincerity of Naomi's agile vocals."-- Amanda Martinez - Santa Cruz Good Times Weekly
