Recorded already in 1983/84, these soulful songs still show a relation to 1970s soul pop with lush arrangements that work with real instruments and have a vibrant atmosphere. An all in all memorable songwriting and the incredible vocals of Mavis Staples from The Staple Singers make the album stand the test of time, even 35 years after the initial recording sessions and 25 years past its first CD/MC release.
