| | Johnnie Taylor Good Love! CD (1996)
In Control
$14.29 
GOOD LOVE! finds the veteran R&B singer updating his style while maintaining the rich, soulful quality that has served him throughout his 35-year solo career. Taylor is in a somewhat schizophrenic mood on this release. Many cuts take a modern approach, with the instrumental focus on synthesizers and drum machines. Elsewhere, Taylor is accompanied by the storied Muscle Shoals rhythm section, dishing up some fine, horn-punctuated soul as gritty and powerful as anything in his stellar back catalog.
Long-time fans will be glad to hear that the more techno-minded cuts do not detract from the intensity of Taylor's voice. Rather, they cast it in sharp relief, emphasizing its character, like a deep shade of blue viewed against a translucent backdrop. There are more surprises along the way, including a guest vocal by Taylor's daughter Tasha and a subtle, hypnotic cover of Leon Russell's "This Masquerade." The new twists and the old reliable virtues of Taylor's talent make for an album that establishes a hero of yesteryear as a man of the moment.
Recorded at Muscle Shoals Sound Studios, Sheffield, Alabama and Malaco Studios, Jackson, Mississippi.
Engineers: Wolf Stephenson, Steve Melton, Kent Bruce, Jerry Masters.
Personnel: Johnnie Taylor, Tasha Taylor ...
| | Johnnie Taylor Gotta Get The Groove Back CD (1999)
In Control
$14.15
GOTTA GET THE GROOVE BACK was nominated for the 2001 Grammy Award for Best Traditional R&B Vocal Album.
The last scheduled release from Johnnie Taylor before his death in May 2000 is a mix of contemporary and old-school R&B. Though there are drum machines and synthesizers a-plenty, Taylor's matchless, hurting tenor brings an ageless feel to everything it touches. With GOTTA GET THE GROOVE BACK he transcends his influences, and his former incarnations as Sam Cooke's successor in the legendary Soul Stirrers, the '60s soul singer of "Who's Making Love," and the '70s disco star of "Disco Lady".
Frederick ("I've Been Lonely for So Long") Knight's "Big Head Hundreds" is given the full Taylor treatment; up against this recording, most contemporary R&B is reduced to candyfloss. Taylor's at his most effective when playing both funky and wounded--his voice evokes Otis Redding, or Wilson Pickett's guttural depths, but also carries a singular high lonesome sweetness. This is most evident on slower, more contemporary cuts, such as "Juke Joint," whose spare production gives this muscular singer room to express both the urgency and the despair in a search for after-hours gratification. His aside, "I feel lucky tonight," speaks volumes. The irony of the final track, "Soul Heaven," where Taylor dreams he's at a gig with the Bar-Kays, Otis Redding, Jimi Hendrix, Sam Cooke, et al, will escape no-one.

The Philistines started thumping beats in their mothers' wombs.
