Smooth later work from
Lonnie Smith – but still pretty darn great, with a feel that's in the late 70s Kudu/
CTI mode! Arrangements are bigger than ever before – with large backings arranged by
Lonnie, and some vocals that have a really wonderful, warm, Stevie Wonder-esque quality to them. The best tracks groove along at a nice midtempo pace, with strong work on keyboards by
Lonnie, and a warm, dreamy, soulful quality that's quite different from his Blue Note work, but equally pleasing in another sort of way. Titles include "What's Done Is Done", "I Need Your Love", "Sweet Honey Wine", "My Latin Sky", and "Journey To Within".
