Turning Point (with bonus tracks)
CD (Item 597051) Portrait/Soulmusic.com (UK), 1984 — Condition: New Copy
A great revival of sorts for The Staple Singers – and a record that has them hitting a whole new groove to really open up their sound! Gone are the cliches of earlier albums, and in their place is a tightly-crafted approach to 80s soul – one that's clearly aimed at the dancefloor, and which takes the group into a whole new world of opportunities! This sound is probably best heard on the group's sublime cover of the Talking Heads' "Slippery People" – represented here as a skittish soul groover, and even featuring guest guitar from David Byrne! The best other tracks keep up this clubby groove – and titles include "This Is Our Night", "Bridges Instead Of Walls", "Right Decision", "HATE", "On My Own Again", and "That's What Friends Are For". CD features some great bonus tracks – "Slippery People (US club)", "Slippery People (inst)", "Slippery People (US single)", "HATE (US single)", and "Can You Hang". © 1996-2013, Dusty Groove, Inc. | |||||
