A shame this is not better known.
I know people railed against it at the time because Doyle was suppose to be a guitar hero blazing the trail Stevie started, but who would want to do that!? Instead Doyle went the other way trying to write songs that were great and focusing on his soul influences and it made this album very good. No there isn't much here for the person looking for guitar glory but what you will find is deep songs with deep grooves and funky flourishes. If you like Sly and the Family Stone, Prince, anything funky this record has it. Not to be skipped that's for damn sure.
