Listener Reviews & Comments
I don't know all of the Rufus albums well yet, but so far I think this is most jaw-droppingly great. The whole album just reeks of sweat and soul. Chaka Khan shows us that she is possibly the only woman that could give Aretha Franklin a run for her money in the R&B arena of the 1970s. But all credit certainly doesn't go to Chaka; everyone is great here. The arrangements, grooves, and everything else all click. This album is truly a masterpiece. With all due respect to hip hop America (which I am not at all a part of), they don't know diddley about music. It's all electronic, programmed, emotionless, and over-produced. Take one listen to this and you'll cringe the next time you hear fake beats boom their way out of electronic keyboards. This band had saxes, horns, drums, piano, synthesizers (used sparingly), funky guitars, a real bass, and, well, Chaka. These instruments all worked together to create something very special, very rare, and downright sublime. You can't go wrong with this album. My favorite track is the gorgeous "Walkin' In The Sun", which is really more of a ballad, but is a powerfully funky one (thanks to Ms. Khan). But the whole album rocks. Don't hesitate to get this one. It will blow you away.
