BACKGROUND INFO FROM ALLMUSIC.COM WEBSITE:
Review by Jason Ankeny
Given the caliber of his collaborators alone, it's remarkable that Lou Johnson didn't emerge as one of the premier soul singers of his generation. His second and final LP With You in Mind pairs him with New Orleans R&B production maestros Allen Toussaint and Marshall Sehorn, and while the earthy, gut-check Southern soul idiom fits Johnson's river-deep vocals like a glove, the album's commercial failure proved the final blow to his star-crossed recording career. Listeners who know Johnson solely from his dramatic Bacharach/David records will be flabbergasted by the scope and elasticity of his vocals: the uptown sophistication of "(There's) Always Something There to Remind Me" and "Kentucky Bluebird" is replaced by a physical strength and heartbreaking intimacy comparable to the best music forged in Memphis or Muscle Shoals.

COVER STOCK STILL SEALED WITH WHAT APPEARS TO BE THE ORIGINAL SHRINK WRAP INTACT. CORNERS WITH SMALL ROUGH SPOTS AND OUTER LAYER LOSSES ON POINT. ANGRY PUNCH CUT HOLE TOP LEFT CORNER. NOTWITHSTANDING, A PICTURE IS WORTH A THOUSAND WORDS, SO PLEASE DO LOOK AT THE COVER PHOTOS TO ASCERTAIN COVER CONDITION.
