    Pros: Excellent Album!

    Cons: Non

    I still remember the first time I listened to this album. Nothing today compares. I hope one day it will be available again on CD.

    Pros: Great music for a jazz party!

    Cons: None.

    Excellent album! I bought this album when it first came out in the 70s. My favorite track is "I've just seen a face" or as my friends and I simply call it "Face". I am amazed that this album is not available on CD yet.

    With a couple of exceptions, altoist Hank Crawford's Kudu recordings of the 1970s did not reach the levels of his best Atlantic dates from the 1960s or his later Milestone albums. This LP has generally weak material ("Teach Me Tonight") is the only standard, the arrangements by David Matthews are routine and Crawford's soulful alto sounds obviously overdubbed over the string section; the "background" vocals on "Lullaby of Love" also do not help. The only reason to acquire this album is to hear Crawford's always appealing sound, but there are many more rewarding Hank Crawford recordings currently available.
