Honey/Contradiction
CD (Item 463353) Mercury/BGO (UK), 1975/1976 — Condition: New Copy
Two albums from The Ohio Players – on a single CD! First up is Honey, one of the best albums the Ohio Players cut during the years at Mercury! Most folks go for their big hit "Love Rollercoaster", but we've always been partial to the smooth, mellow funky track "Sweet Sticky Thing", served up here in the cool long version, which has a groove that builds and builds. Also includes "Honey", "Fopp", "Let's Love", "Ain't Givin' Up No Ground" and "Alone". Contradiction is an overlooked gem from the group – but cut right at their height! The album's got a smooth and slinky finish that has the band tightening up a lot– going for a compressed spacey soul sound on some of the album's mellower numbers, in a style that's equally as mindblowing as their heavier funk. This approach makes for some really nicely tripped-out tunes that have some nice jazzy touches – expanding the group's sound way past the hits, into some complicated grooves that are plenty darn nice! Titles include "Contradiction", "Who'd She Coo?", "Far East Mississippi", "Tell The Truth", "My Life", "Bi-Centennial", and "My Ladies Run Me Crazy". © 1996-2013, Dusty Groove, Inc. | |||||
