  • All Music Guide

    Following the success of their most popular album ever, Charles Wright the Watts 103rd Street Rhythm Band seem to be running out of ideas on You're So Beautiful. Kicking off the festivities is a reworking of their big hit, "Express Yourself." Steeped in callandresponse revivalism, "Express Yourself II" brings the funk, but is repetitive and lacks focus. Elements of the band's unbridled yet controlled soul are still evident, but the songs themselves are without structure and seem to ramble. A prime example is the spacedout "Let's Make Love Not War." A Tribe Called Quest and Brand Nubian have plucked juicy lines from "What Can You Bring Me," with its chickenscratch guitar licks and ebbing horn patterns. Sadly, this album is not available on CD and is ultrarare on the cratedigging vinyl circuit.
