For my 420th vinyl review, I've chosen this 1977 release by Charles Earland. Rock solid soul jazz, several of the songs were recorded in 1969. Hard to choose a highlight, there aren't really any duds here, "Soon It's Gonna Rain" has some wonderful guitar work from Jimmy Ponder. Fine sounding pressing, Earland's organ bursts through the speakers, low end is full and deep, percussion, guitars, horns all warm and clear. Excellent and underrated Earland album.
