Joe Williams - Joe Williams Live download free

While powerful forces are involved with this recording (the Adderleys, George Duke, Axelrod,...), and their presence is undeniably felt, especially in the funk content, this is clearly Williams' album, the singer accessing the innovation while maintaining his integrity, the result quite enjoyable and rather interesting, the bridging of old and newer sub-genres not only serving as a history lesson but helping to point out the similarity in the seemingly different styles. Another worthwhile outing for fans.
