Review / Description

Review from Oufar Khan blog (though link above is my own rip):
A searing debut from Black Heat — one of the best funk acts to record for Atlantic during the 70s, and a tight little group with a sound that’s a mixture of New Orleans funk and New York heavy! The album’s got a bit of vocals — figuring in on about half the tracks — but the main focus here is definitely instrumental — with a strong emphasis on choppy guitar, sweet organ licks, and cooking horn solos on trumpet, tenor, and flute — the last two of which are played by David Newman — not normally a member of the combo, but a great guest for this session!
The sound is very tight, but never slick — and often recorded with an earthiness that recalls some of the best indie label funk of the period — like the kind of grooves you might find over at Perception/Today — with all the trippiness that might imply. Titles include “Chip’s Funk”, “Wanoah”, “Barbara’s Mood”, “Chicken Heads”, “The Jungle”, “Send My Lover Back”, “Honey Love”, and “Time Is Gonna Catch You”.
Joel Dorn produced the album for Atlantic, so you know it’s damn funky!
