The third solo set from legendary drummer Buddy Miles (Jimi Hendrix, Carlos Santana) is essential for any fan of soulful rock ’n’ roll. First, the hip-swiveling title tune testifies personal vicissitudes and shows why Buddy Miles might’ve been the greatest groove trapsman ever. As an underrated singer, he channels Otis Redding (“Your Feeling Is Mine”), pimps the soul fantastic (“Heart’s Delight”), and balladizes sweetly (“I Still Love You Anyway”). He takes us through the South on “Memphis Train” and bestows psych-out grooves upon Neil Young’s “Down by the River” and The Allman Brothers’ “Dreams.” And the blitzing Memphis Horns are everywhere on this overlooked 1970 release.
