' This is a great solo album from Junie, his first solo effort after his hook-up with P.Funk. He benefits greatly from the presence of Lynn Mabry of the Brides doing back-up vocals. The album has a light feeling to it; it's certainly not as heavy or rock-oriented as his earlier solo albums. The album switches between dance-funk songs and uptempo ballads, the sort of thing he did so well with P.Funk. And for the most part, it works very well here also.Track Listing:
"Love Has Taken Me Over" is a "Knee Deep" style song that features bass synth and great singing all around. The intro even sounds a bit like "Knee Deep"! "Why" has fine bass playing and those great Junie growls that sound so funny because his voice is naturally so high. "Bread Alone" has extremely clever lyrics and more good singing. The guitar has an almost reggae-like rhythm, and the use of spacing throughout is excellent. "Nagual's Theme" is an odd little vignette with multi-layered vocals. "Funky Parts" is an top notch dance funker with great rhythms and vocals; it eventually turns into a funk-tango!' Rob Clough at duke.edu
