Prior to this 1971 recording, guitarist Ernie Calabria had played on sessions for Harry Belafonte, Nina Simone and Anita Carter, while soul singer Barbara Massey had sung backup for Jimi Hendrix, Quincy Jones, Herbie Hancock and Cat Stevens. With those influences, the duo made exactly the kind of album you might expectâ"a funky, folky, psychedelic soul gem graced with a stellar list of sidemen (e.g. Keith Jarrett). Nowadays, this cult classic's mixand-match blend of styles sounds amazingly currentâ"thanks in part to disco pioneer Eumir Deodato's orchestrationsâ"but this Real Gone release marks its first legitimate release on CD.
