Tuskegee
Tuskegee is the tenth studio album by American singer Lionel Richie, released on March 5, 2012, on Mercury Records. The album consists entirely of reinterpretations of previously released songs by Richie, each performed with a different guest artist. It became Richie's third number-one album on the Billboard 200 and his first since Dancing on the Ceiling in 1986. Tuskegee also became Richie's first album to sell more than a million copies in the United States since Dancing on the Ceiling. - Wikipedia

Rolling Stone
Richie’s style is so expansive, musically and emotionally.

BBC
The tempos, sentiments and story-telling centres of these songs are perfectly country.

All Music
Even if the production has changed -- it’s not as glossy as the '80s, there are fewer keyboards and more guitars-the sensibility remains the same, so Tuskegee generates a bit of déjà vu: the surroundings are new, yet everything feels familiar. Whether that’s a comfortable bit of nostalgia or just a shade too predictable depends entirely on the tastes of the listener.

Tuskegee is an impressive accomplishment. Not only does it stand as a cohesive project consisting of many parts and voices, but it also showcases Lionel’s universal talents as a songwriter.

Lionel Richie’s ‘Tuskegee’ pairs him with country’s finest.

LA Times Blogs
Acoustic guitars replace glistening synths, bittersweet steel guitars slide in to provide the patina of rural rootsiness, yet Richie still never really steps away from the polished sheen that characterized his musical heyday.
