American blues guitarist Arthur Adams, who had been active since the 1950s and joined The Crusaders in the late ’60s, released his first solo album in 1973, co-produced with Tommy LiPuma. The record features contributions from Phil Upchurch (g), Wilton Felder (b), Joe Sample (el-p, clavinet, organ), and Paul Pumphrey (ds), among others. While firmly rooted in high-quality Black music blending blues, soul, funk, R&B, and jazz, it also carries subtle touches of country and folk, giving it the depth of a true classic. Every track is excellent, but the mellow numbers A3 and B2, showcasing Adams’s sweet vocals, are particularly outstanding. Original U.S. pressing.
A2: Happiness (Is All I See)
A3: Get On The Ground
B2: I Can't Believe My Eyes
B3: It’s Private Tonight
