Sly and the Family Stone - Life (1968)

So this is pretty fantastic.

Track pick: "Plastic Jim", "M'Lady"

4/5

----------------------------------------

Townes Van Zandt - For the Sake of the Song (1968)

Pretty good. Not as good as Our Mother the Mountain though, and "Talkin' Karate Blues" makes me cringe.

Track pick: "Tecumseh Valley"

2.5/5

----------------------------------------

Isaac Hayes - Hot Buttered Soul (1969)

Let's see... "Walk On By" is awesome, "Hyperbolicsyllabicsesquedalymistic" does nothing for me, "One Woman" is pretty good but inconsequential, and "By the Time I Get to Phoenix" has one of the best builds I've ever heard. Overall, excellent stuff.

Track pick: "Walk On By", "By the Time I Get to Phoenix"

3.5/5
