Hamilton Bohannon's finest record concocts sensuous funk grooves from daring arrangements boasting tripped-out wah-wah guitars, punishing basslines, and massive drum breaks. In short, a sampler's wet dream. While later Bohannon discs would veer too far into the realm of up-tempo disco, Stop and Go favors slower, sexier rhythms. Add in the chorus vocals of the Haywood Sisters on tracks like &Run It on Down, Mr. D.J.& and the remarkable &Singing a Song for My Father,& and the end result is the kind of uncommonly lush and tactile funk album R. Kelly would skip recess to make.
