Now, I have mentioned my love for killer 70’s funk and instrumental groove albums a few times. But, I also have a bad habit of buying records upon hearing one killer tune. This album by War released back in ’77 is one of those records.
The title track is a pure gold, a funk classic that has a groove and vibe to die for. It deserves a 10/10 rating on its own. The only other track that comes close to that level of groove is the end of the fourteen minute The Seven Tin Soldiers. War have had chart success in their career with some soul classics but it’s the funk that I love, which when they do it, they do it so well.
As I mentioned, the title track is killer and if you can pick the album up cheap enough it’s worth it.
7/10 from The Grooveman.
