An early 70's gem.......2006-08-12
'I Was Checkin' Out She Was Checkin' In' is one of the all-time classic cheatin' soul songs. How many people thought it was the Rolling Stones hitting an unexpected high when they first heard this on the radio? (Mick Jagger owes an unpayable debt to Don Covay for usurping his vocal sound and style). 'Leave Him' simmers for eight wonderful minutes, but it has to be 'Somebody's Been Enjoying My Home' that floors the Soul pathos-o-meter into the red... Don itemizes all the evidence of another man in his abode culminating with, "He even had the nerve to rob my Frigidaire. What made me so mad he drank my last six-pack of beer. Lord!"
A great album. And the funky stuff is pretty good too.

Now, for a monument to self-indulgence, 8 minutes of "Leave Him." I don't how anyone can listen to this entire song more than once or twice. Then, he tries to do a cover of "Money." He uses a music style similar to The Wiz here, but again, the song is just too overcovered. Finally, the album ends on a decent, yet generic soul ballad. In a great marketing move, RPM has put half the tracks from the second Jefferson Lemon Blues Band album, "Different Strokes" on here. The other half of the tracks will be attached to a reissue of Don's album "Hot Blood." I had high hopes for this section because I'd read good reviews of "House of Blue Light. "Sweet Thing" is absolutely great, classic Don Covay. "Shoes" and "Hitching A Ride" are decent, but lean more toward Don's new funk sound. They are nothing like the raw blues found on "House of Blue Light," however. I loved Mercy/Seesaw and after receiving House of Blue Light today, I am liking that album, too. Superdude sounds like a weak comeback album in comparison. It just sounds childish.
