Description
2023 reissue, 12″ LP, Polydor/Verve.
Landing in perfect harmony with the warmer months, Roy Ayers’ super-seminal 1970 album gets a reissue on limited yellow vinyl. And it’s every bit as warm, delicious and essential as you already know it is. From the moment that iconic chant on the opener “Hey, Uh What You Say Come On” builds up right through to the slinky loose funk of “Lonesome Cowboy” fades out, this captures Roy in his most prime and vital. The sparkling drama of “People & The World”, the dreamy vibraphone of “The Third Eye” and of course the timeless and massively influential tones of “Everybody Loves The Sunshine”… This album needs to be in every collection in the country. Don’t sleep on it.
