Excellent Crusaders album from 1974, introduced Larry Carlton as a fully fledged member of the group. Originally double vinyl, the album included the funky hit single ‘Stomp And Buck Dance’ and the Jazz Funk groove ‘Greasy Spoon’. It is however the four elongated pieces that mark this album out as truly sublime. The haunting ‘Ballad For Joe (Louis)’ was a popular Crusaders tune back in the day, ‘Whispering Pines’ is wonderfully expressive and is just beautiful. ‘Lillies Of The Nile’ and ‘When There’s Love Around’ are also strong instrumentals. These four tracks illustrate how eloquent they were at painting pictures with their music.
