This was $4.00 approx. It looked like a good album not being up to date on Billy Preston’s discography at time of purchase.Billy’s Website
Preston, who first met the Beatles in Hamburg with Little Richard, played on the later albums and is featured in the film “Let It Be”. He also had a decent solo career. He was born in Houston, Texas in 1946. He would die in 2006.
This was Preston’s sixth studio album but his first for A&M. Released in 1971, it got decent chart success and produced a #2 single with “Outa-Space”. Quincy Jones arranged the strings and horns. David T. Walker plays the guitars. George Harrison plays a dobro on the title song. There are some funky performances and there are some slower gospel numbers. Overall, it is a good album.There are a few good songs to choose from, but somehow today, for Martin Luther King Day, I felt “My Country ‘Tis Of Thee” was a more appropriate choice.
Satisfactory record.
