Description

One of the true heavyweight soul-funk titles. Most of the originals of this are likely in the hands of collectors trading places for over $200, and we re on the hunt. The title track is the monster with the smooth sampled groove and Syl Johnson s deep soul vocals. Clocking in at over 7 minutes, this is true epic soul. Right On is another track that everyone looks for, after it was given a rebirth on an No ID interlude on Common s second album. Pure heaven as the band gives away to the drums and Syl s shouts in this famous outtro. Concrete Reservation is sweet urban soul over Mayfield-like string arrangements giving Syl s vocals yet another angle. Of course, there are the required slow ballads and even the Beatles cover (Come Together), but the entire record holds itself together… completeness down to cover.
