A fantastic bit
of spacey soul – and an amazing collaboration between the Mizell Brothers and vocalist Rance Allen! The set's quite different than Rance's earlier, rootsier work for Stax – and instead has the soaring, joyous quality
of some
of the other great Mizell productions from the time on albums by Gary Bartz, Bobbi Humphrey, and Johnny Hammond! The best cuts here soar along with a really jazzy feel – that trademark Mizell groove, supported with excellent production that somehow manages to fuse a wide range
of keyboards, rhythms, and string together with a really lean sound. Rance's spiritual vocals are wonderful throughout – and the whole album's essential for both Mizell fans, and any lover
of righteous 70s soul! Titles include the sublime classics "Truth Is
Marching On", "Reason To Survive", and "Peace
of Mind" – plus "I'm Gonna Make It After All", "Got To Be Ready", and "You're My Everything".
