Taxi – The Best Of The Sound Town & Edge Years

Out Of Stock

Add Item to Want List
CD (Item 598616) P-Vine (Japan), Late 70s/1980s — Condition: New Copy

Great solo work from soul child J Blackfoot – music that's often done in a modern soul mode, but with plenty of Memphis touches too! Blackfoot's lost none of the vocal power since his earlier group recordings on Stax – and if anything, standing out as a lead act has given him even more confidence and charm – especially on some of the more pointed love tunes, which are really the standouts in the set! Homer Banks write and produced most tracks – and brings a good modern/southern feel to the record – really helping Blackfoot steer clear of some of the too-bluesy sounds some of his contemporaries were hitting at this time. Titles include "The Girl Next Door", "Just To Be With You", "One Of Those Parties", "Taxi", "I Don't Remember Loving You", "If I Don't Love You", "Sunshine Lady", "Respect Yourself", and "Tear Jerker".  © 1996-2013, Dusty Groove, Inc.
