They were still doing a soul-jazz | | fusion, but much more funk and, indeed, fusion (in the electric jazz | | sense) were coloring their approach. While in these senses the group | | was keeping pace with changes in instrumental soul and jazz, Oh Girl | | is an erratic and not terribly impressive record. | | | | Side one is devoted entirely to covers, with the reading of the | | Chi-Lites' "Oh Girl" just a little reminiscent of the "Soulful Strut" | | days. Otherwise, the selection of material on the "covers" side was | | almost ridiculously eclectic, from Allen Toussaint's "Yes We Can Can" | | (predating the Pointer Sisters' hit with the song) and the Blues | | Magoos' "Can't Get Enough of You" (actually one of the better tracks) | | to Randy Weston's "Hi-Fly" and Roberta Flack & Donny Hathaway's | | "Where Is the Love?" | | | | Side two is devoted entirely to original material, but it's similar | | to side one in how it veers from almost lounge-ish | | soul-jazz-fusion-funk to cuts with a sharper edge. The smoldering | | guitar on "Food Stamps" and the sullen funk bounce of "Rubber Lips" | | make those cuts stand out, but otherwise this is only passable, and | | sometimes dull, background-quality instrumental music. | | | | | | Produced by Michael Cuscuna. | | Recorded by Harry Maslin & Paul Serrano. | | | | Tracks 1-2 & 10 were recorded at P.S. Studios, Chicago in May, 1972. | | All the other selections were recorded at The Hit Factory, New York | | in August, 1972. | | | | Eldee Young - acoustic bass, electric bass, electric bass | | Isaac "Redd" Holt - drums | | Ralph MacDonald - congas, percussion | | Marcus Curry - electric guitar | | Bobby Lyle, Ken Chaney - piano, electric piano | | | | | | YOU KNOW YOU HAVE TO BUY THIS SHIT IF YOU LIKE IT RIGHT?! | | | | | | . . | | |\/\/| | | |____| | |------------------------------=---=-======-=---=-------------------------| |===/\===============================SOUNDz==========================/\===| '--/__\--------------------------=-2013-2021-=----------------------/__\--'
