1001 Albums Summary

Soulful album just started listening to it. Seems like the first song (its title track) is the most popular. Made in 1971, it has 9 songs and is only 35 minutes long. I love the vocals. On Whats happening brother there is a nice percussion hand drum type beat going on that compliments the melody. One song i added to my goated playlist was Flyin’ High (In The Friendly Sky) The vocals again hit so hard and the melody was there. Save The Children was good but kinda like a interlude in a way talking about the messed up world and what children will have to face when they get older. God is love was another one im adding to the goated playlist more traditional African percussion in this religious soul song. It talks about loving your neighbor and thanking god for everything. Very light hearted track. Mercy Mercy Mercy is a song about climate change it feels like it talks about animals dying and such. Right on talks about different people and love. The flute is really nice in this one. Wholy holy is another religious track that talks about getting together and believing in Jesus and God. Make me wanna holler I couldn't understand since no lyrics on Spotify but the beat was there, and there were more traditional drums. Part of its talking about racism I think. Final ranking 8/10 Y
