专辑介绍
by Bruce Eder
The title is intended in an ironic way, as illustrated not only by the cover -- a grim parody of late-'40s/early-'50s advertising imagery depicting white versus black social reality -- but the grim yet utterly catchy and haunting opening number, &Billy Jack.& A song about gun violence that was years ahead of its time, it's scored to an incisive horn arrangement by Richard Tufo. &When Seasons Change& is a beautifully wrought account of the miseries of urban life that contains elements of both gospel and contemporary soul. The album's one big song, &So in Love,& which made number 67 on the pop charts but was a Top Ten soul hit, is only the prettiest of a string of exquisite tracks on the album, including &Blue Monday People& and &Jesus& and the soaring finale, &Love to the People,& broken up by the harder-edged &Hard Times.& The album doesn't really have as clearly delineated a body of songs as Mayfield's earlier topical releases, but it's in the same league with his other work of the period and represents him near his prime as a composer.
