Listener Reviews & Comments
By the time The Crusaders got round to making this album in 1991, there could be no doubt that their sound was getting smoother, more radio-friendly, if you will. Stix Hooper had left by this time but the two remaining original members; keyboardist Joe Sample and saxophonist Wilton Felder were (and are) so good that they manage to carry things off with flair. They're assisted on this album by people like Marcus Miller on bass and synth programming, William "Bubba" Bryant on drums, Lenny Castro on percussion and Steve Lukather who gives a barnstorming guitar solo on "Cause We've Ended As Lovers", my overall favourite track on the album. Other favourites include - in love order - "Running Man", "Little Things Mean A Lot" and the title track, "Healing The Wounds". The version of "Maputo" on here is cool and all but the version on the Bob James & David Sanborn album Double Vision, is 100 times better. IMHO. Apart from the great music, the main thing that strikes me about this album every time I play it is how clean it sounds. Every single instrument sounds distinct and crystal clear. Props to Marcus Miller, who also produced. It is 'smooth' or 'contemporary' jazz but the two principal members of the band play their behinds off on here and it's well worth a listen. I love it so much that it's another in the long line of albums in my collection that are making the vinyl-to-CD transaction.
