Review:
The mighty Wayne Henderson never lets us down and even on a record like this, with a cheesy cover and a slightly confused image, his wicked studio talents still come through plenty strong! The album's a great example of the At-Home Productions mode at its best a warmly collaborative effort that has Henderson working with an array of top-shelf studio players and jazzmen, plus vocalists Johnny Reason and Ron Banks. Side one is mostly soul-based vocal numbers, and side two is all jazz with some especially nice keyboards from Bobby Lyle. Titles include "I Keep Looking For A Better Way", "Starry Eyes", "Monte Carlo", "Dancin Love Affair", "Feel The Fire", "I Want'cha To Dance", and "Get The Ants Out Ya Pants".

Caro Pier,
ho recentemente ascoltato alcuni brani dall'album dei Voltage Brothers intitolato "afrodisco" del 1978...
L'hanno postato su SoulYour Funk ma manca un brano ed è un'album strepitoso, non è che per caso nei vostri mirabolanti archivi...
Come sempre grazie!
