Possibly the greatest album ever by the legendary Chicago soul singer
Terry Callier! Terry's rich mellow voice is mixed with superb
arrangements from the Cadet studio team, with Charles Stepney at the
head, and the result is completely sublime. The songs are longer than
on earlier albums – and spun out with a complex groove that mixes equal
parts of jazz, folk, and soul with the soaring spiritual vibe that was
running through the Chicago scene at the time. The first side alone is
the stuff that legends are made of – with classic tracks like "Dancing
Girl", "What Color is Love", and "You Goin' Miss Your Candyman" all in a
row, sewn together in a wash of love, soul, and emotion that you'd be
hard pressed to find on any other album from the time.
