Album Details
2007 digitally remastered reissue of the lone 1979 album from the overlooked smooth Soul baritone featuring three bonus tracks including two single edits of 'Let Me Dance' and the mono mix of 'You Got The Best Of Me'. His husky, smooth, understated baritone and sensitive compositional skills merge to create an album free of the Disco-oriented saturation of many of his contemporaries' efforts. It's the swooping ballads and swaying mid-tempos here, like the plush "Take Me to the Top (Of Your Mountain)" and the rare-groove favorite "I Can't Forget About You," that truly show his essence. Longtime collaborator Michael Stokes' organic production and arrangement expertise is a steady complement to Matlock's unique stylings, whether it's on the low-key "Feeling Something" or the more agile "Back Street."
