专辑简介

A nice mix of sounds characterizes this brilliant album which for some reason was ignored by most fans. There are the synth-dominated 'All We Got' and 'Tear It Up' (McDonald meets Scritti Politti), two songs produced by Don Was, one of them the beautiful title track, and then the rest of the lot, mainly performed by Mike and a fierce backing band consisting of the sadly missed Toto drummer Jeff Porcaro, bass player Abe Laboriel, and guitar wizard Mike Landau. These tracks are the backbone of the album, and the guys hit it off wonderfully. The best examples of their skills can be heard on the - by Michael McDonald standards - hard rocking 'Homeboy' with an outstanding guitar solo from Landau, and on the closing track 'You Show Me', on which Stan Getz provides the final touches with his distinctive sax playing. It's a shame this album got neither the recognition nor achieved the success it deserved. It brings back some good memories for me, and I enjoy listening to it just as much as when I first bought it. A classic.
