LATIMORE - Let's Straighten It Out (1974)

Classic seventies material from Latimore, and still a very popular album here in Chicago!! Includes the massive long version of "Let's Straighten it Out", with the righteous extended Fender Rhodes solo really opens up the track, taking it way past a simple southern style, into a righteous trippy groove. The singer, composer and keyboardist made no-nonsense, unsophisticated confessional Soul and heartache ballads, plus an occasional uptempo number; at the time, he was making tunes with minimal production that put his coarse leads at the center. They were recorded for the Miami-based Glades label, and usually were regional rather than national hits. "Let's Straighten It Out" proved an exception!!
