A sweet mix of clubby tracks and mellower moments from
Willie Hutch – and an overlooked gem from his late 70s years on Whitfield Records! The set's got
Willie definitely digging some of the disco styles of the time, but in a way that's never sellout at all – as his vocals and guitar are always right on the money, and rounded out by more laidback moments that retain that spacey, trippy charm of
Hutch's earlier records. These mellow tracks are really great – almost more soulful than some of
Willie's Motown work, in a style that trades the funk for some sweeter, lighter instrumental touches that really let
Willie's vocals take center stage. Titles include "Never Let You Be Without Love", "Kelly Green", "Midnight Dancer", "Everyday Love", "Deep In Your Love", and "Everybody Needs Money".
