The Vibrations "Who`s Gonna Help Me Now" (Neptune N-19) 1969

Late(r) career Bobby Bland masterpiece ....

Jimmy Bo Horne „The Road Of Love (Dig D-905/Alston 4606) 1971

John „Rootman“ Henry "Who Am I" (Brownstown/Dig 7071) 1972 ..... excellent gritty singer, (IMO) bettering this (earlier) version :

Good one ....

There is a dedicated "Hampton Hawes" thread started by forum member "catesta" on March 9th, 2004 - but all mentions of "For Real" are positive .... nevertheless its ok to have different valuations .... for what it's worth, I did have different expectations from Harold Land's "The Fox" (probably based in Dupree Bolton's fantastic playing on "Katanga") but over the time learned to appreciate the platter for what it is ....

Soulin`on .... :

Brilliant collection of mostly self-written material and Prince Phillip Mitchell rides the groove - contributed by the Muscle Shoals Rhythm Section - to perfection ....

Earlier today .... : "Must have" Bruckner 5 ....

Not sure, probably .... (IMO) the whole at least equals the sum of its parts and Harold Land in his early prime is a major factor here ....

Superb ....

Possibly overlooked little gem ....

Edit : wrong thread ....

Not as even as the previous album but features a super version of Stevie Wonder's "To Know You Is To Love You" ....

Formidable performances ....
