One time Opus 7 member Gary Hairston recorded this solo effort in 1983 under the guidance of studio boss Harry Deal in North Carolina and although it undoubtedly failed to hit at the time it has become a hugely sought after boogie funk album. Coming in at just 8 tracks it’s a good example of self produced early 80s indie soul and a timely, welcome excavation. The ‘Higher Ground’ referencing ‘People’, the bumping boogie of ‘Me, Myself and I’ and the spacey ‘Looks Like Your Funk’ are highlights on a set that provides a good sense of atmosphere and the world of private press soul.
