Review:
A disappointing album by the legendary soul organist, producer, bandleader, and composer. Jones did undistinguished fusion material and light pop on this late ’80s album (? n.d.r.), seldom displaying the spirited playing and clever arrangements that made his Stax sessions anthemic and his productions for Willie Nelson, Bob Dylan, and Bill Withers successful.
