Bobby Womack – Across 110th Street

Only 1 left in stock

$25.00

“The soundtrack to a relatively little-known 1972 blaxploitation film featured songs written and performed by Bobby Womack, as well as a musical score by J.J. Johnson. Although the inconsistency of the approach precluded a musical statement along the lines of Superfly, it’s an interesting find for those looking for little-heeded early-’70s soul with funk and rock influences. Womack’s cuts count among his better material, and even if the title track cops much of its attitude from Superfly, it has a satisfyingly tough soul-rock groove of its own. “If You Want My Love” is a good grainy ballad, “Quicksand” a propulsive number well-suited for action scenes, and “Do It Right” is in the mold of James Brown, but more rock-oriented. Johnson’s instrumental contributions, while not as interesting, set a nice period soul-jazz mood, and there are nifty periodic washes of electronic effects in both composers’ contributions.” – allmusic.com
