Obscure bit of spiritual soul by Wayne Davis, who also recorded another record for the Black Fire label (home of Oneness of Juju). Roberta Flack guests on this album, and gives him the thumbs up in the notes on the back, and the whole thing’s got the same sort of jazzy soul feel of her first album, or of other work in the same vein. Includes a nice long one called ‘Joel 2:28’, plus ‘I Love You So’, and a cover of ‘Somebody’s Watching You’. Very righteous stuff!

‘…very nice soul-funky jazzy tune with an hypnotic feel with soulful vocals & electric piano.’
