Solid funky work from Ray Parker Jr & Raydio – a set that's lean and focused, and still very much in the earlier Raydio groove! Parker's still a bit away from the spotlight at this point – leaving the band to have the strongest role in the record, which is a great thing, given how ... read more CD

One of Billy's better albums from the time – produced by George Harrison, with a rough rootsy spiritual sound that reminds us of material on Let It Be. There's more than a bit of rock on the album – and there's a churchy feeling that sounds a lot like the hippie religiosity that ... read more CD
