A great later Motown effort from the Undisputed Truth, working here in a groove that's a bit tighter and more upbeat than before, but still plenty darn great!! Norman Whitfield is still very firmly in charge of the group's sound on the record, arranging, producing, and writing most of the cuts on the album, and he's doing a great job of keeping his sound fresh here, not just sticking in the bass-heavy styles of previous years, and instead moving into some fresher territory that has the group continuing to grow nicely. In a way, the whole thing's almost a precursor for the grooves to come on Norman's own Whitfield label, a great batch of well-crafted tunes!!Tracklisting:
1. Higher Than High
2. Poontang
3. Life Ain't So Easy
4. Boogie Bump Boogie
5. Help Yourself
6. I'm In The Red Zone
7. Overload
8. I Saw You When You Met Her
9. Ma
This is a good listen.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the post, I always thought this group never got the attention they deserved. Whitfield was a master on the boards. Thanks again !
