A step up for the Derobert sound with this killer set that has a darker feel in both the writing and music: there’s a more ‘Blaxploitation’ vibe here – more ‘street’ – and as a result the effects are engaging and dramatic. ‘Got The Goods’ is almost a protest song at any doubters he may have while ‘Ask Of Me’ uses those reedy sundown strings, bass and warbling organ to great effect. ‘Let It Go’ again uses the minor key to brilliant effect with a lonely sounding flugel horn giving almost a funereal air while ‘The More & More’ has a brighter feel almost as if the sun has come out from behind dark, angry clouds and harks back the vibe on his previous set. Very good if quite brief at only 7 full tracks. Well worth it, though!
