Bobby Boyd - Bobby Boyd (1976) [Remastered 2011]

Digitally remastered edition of the second lost album from the legendary Bobby Boyd. This is an extremely rare record existing only as promo copies and only seen for top dollar on the collector market. A coveted Funk gem mixing gentle ballads and wild instrumentals, the groove is hot, smooth and finely honed, revealing the full sensitivity of his compositions. As we journey through the album, we happily drift away, little by little, and absorb the warmth of a Rhodes piano, the guitar, and elsewhere the twirling sax arabesques. The musicians are excellent, dedicated to each piece, sticking to the essential and avoiding tiring technical demonstrations. The groove is hot, smooth and finely honed, revealing the full sensitivity of his compositions. With this album, Bobby Boyd creates a masterpiece that lingers on the palette and to which we will constantly return to draw from its genuine warmth. Also available on LP.
