The ambitions of Earth, Wind & Fire only increased after their stellar debut, and the group brought an abstract sense of composition to their sophomore record, The Need of Love. The opener, a ten-minute piece named "Energy," is proof enough, with several extended passages inspired by everything from free jazz as well as in-the-pocket funk like Kool & the Gang. The next song up, "Beauty" is also positive and intriguing, though in an overly similar groove as "Fan the Fire" from the first album. The closer, a cover of Donny Hathaway's gloriously funky "Everything Is Everything," does justice to the original (and that's saying a lot). Compared to the debut, The Need of Love lacked a sense of exuberance as well as a passel of solid songs and performances. ~ John Bush

Digital remastering by Lee Herschberg.

Vibe (5/97, p.116) - "...the name Earth, Wind and Fire conjures up images of African robe-clad funkateers in a boogie wonderland....THE NEED OF LOVE...employed experimental jazz forms...and harmony-driven southern soul..."
Mojo (Publisher) (6/01, p.124) - "...A fascinating little period piece...Opening with a generous drum break...it moves into 'free' horn honking and 'cosmic' waffle about 'prana'..."

Earth, Wind, And Fire All 'N All CD  (1977)

Need Of Love
CD $6.79  4.8 stars Audio Samples
Also available in a 3-pack with THAT'S THE WAY OF THE WORLD and SPIRIT. Digitally remastered by Mark Wilder (Sony Music Studios, New York, New York). Master Sound releases are 24-karat gold CDs remastered from first-generation masters. This process utilizes 20-bit technology and Sony's revolutionary "Super Bit Mapping" system. Originally released in 1977, ALL IN ALL shows Earth, Wind & Fire breaking out of their previous funk/R&B mold and incorporating touches of world music to their sound. The result is a landmark album that sounds just as fresh more than 20 years later. A visit to Argentina and Brazil helped Maurice White and the gang inject some new influences into the recording of ALL IN ALL. Opener "Serpentine Fire" ...

Average White Band Soul Searching CD  (1976)

Need Of Love
CD $7.59  4.6 stars Audio Samples
AWB's artistic winning streak continued with its outstanding fourth album, Soul Searching. Interestingly, this wasn't an album that enjoyed a great deal of publicity or that contained a lot of major hits. In fact, its biggest single, the dreamy "Queen of My Soul," only made it to number 21 on Billboard's R&B albums chart. But thanks to the devoted following AWB had acquired since signing with Atlantic in 1974, Soul Searching went gold. Indeed, AWB aficionados were quite receptive to first-rate material ranging from the invigorating "I'm the One" to the hauntingly romantic "A Love of Your Own." By zeroing in on their strengths -- hard-hitting funk and delightfully melodic soul -- AWB saw to it that Soul Searching was every bit as rewarding as its predecessors. ~ Alex Henderson Recorded at Atlantic Studios, New York, New York from January to March 1976. Originally released on Atlantic (18179). Includes liner notes by A. Scott Galloway. Personnel: Hamish Stuart , Alan Gorrie (vocals, guitar, background vocals); ...

VH1 Presents The Corrs Live In Dublin CD  (2002)

Need Of Love
CD $6.39  4.3 stars Top 500 Audio Samples
This audio document of The Corrs' Dublin homecoming concert has pretty much everything fans of Irish pop could wish for, including an appearance from Bono in his earthly incarnation, fresh from an audience with President George W. Bush. It's to the band's credit that the charismatic singer fails to steal the show, despite creditable efforts via an anthemized version of Ryan Adams' beautifully downtempo "When the Stars Go Blue," and a great, leering rendition of Lee Hazlewood and Nancy Sinatra's "Summer Wine." Somewhat more mysteriously, Rolling Stone Ron Wood also turns up on what sounds dangerously close to a lounge version of Jimi Hendrix's "Little Wing," but this minor faux pas is redeemed by the Irish ...

Need Of Love
CD $27.49  5 stars Audio Samples
Recorded between 1954 & 1962. Includes liner notes by Colin Escott. Nappy Brown, who emerged onto the R&B scene in the 1950s, was the missing link between blues shouters like Wynonie Harris and Big Joe Turner, and the classic soul singers of the '60s, like Ray Charles and Jackie Wilson. Brown had both the rough, rowdy juke-joint shout and the more polished, suave and mannered (he sometimes rolled his consonants) styles down, and ...
