1001 Albums Summary

Favourite Track(s): Pusherman, Superfly Funky ass sounds. Overall, I think the film soundtrack structure (or lack thereof) works against the cohesiveness of the album as a singular, discrete body of work. But happy to hear more Curtis Mayfield beyond 'Move On Up'.

Favourite Track(s): Be Thankful for What You've Got A honeyed, dark album, that makes me feel like a smooth motherfucker taking a drag of a ciggy out late at night. Especially the titular track; low-key vocals and an almost hypnotic beat. I really enjoyed the cover of William DeVaughn's 'Be Thankful for What You've Got'. Much like the rest of the album, its a low-down, well produced, late night haze. But not a mood-setter for me. Would put this only if I am already feeling slow and sly, low and fly.

I love the sound of this. Jupiter and Teardrop + America Snoring are up there for me. The last song (You Just Have To Be Crazy) also hits I liked Dixie Drug Store (apparently his songs appear in One Tree Hill)
