Benny Latimore has done the same thing as Denise LaSalle, joining Malaco in the late '70s and remaining faithful to its brand of Southern soul and country/blues staples while never attempting to make his productions and arrangements more contemporary. That was the case on this album, which had a few nice tracks but also sometimes got bogged down in pretension. Latimore hasn't yet duplicated the energy or the wit that made his early-'70s Glades albums some of the decade's best Southern soul efforts.
