To Arthur Lee (Love) experts What are your thoughts on the Reel to Real album?
I just got a copy from my girl. She paid $4 for it at a local record. Apparently it's the hardest to find Love album! I guess they didn't know that. 
It's musically soulfull, full of horns and wah wah guitars. I mean Arthur Lee is no Sam Cooke but I've always enjoyed his voice and songwriting chops. Im really enjoying this one. | |

I haven't heard his solo stuff, sorry.
But funny you should bring up this. My friend was playing me the record with "Doggone" on it. I have the popular one on CD, Forever Changes. | |

No love for Arthur Lee on the org. Don't know how long you've been on this site, but I ran a thread, and a rather long thread on here about Arthur Lee. I mention Lee quite often on here. So yeah, I have and have shown MUCH love for Arthur on here. SynthiaRose said "I'm in love with blackguitaristz. Especially when he talks about Hendrix."

If folks were looking for a Forever Changes vibe, this ain't it. Although labeled LOVE, it's an Arthur Lee solo record with an R&B edge. Interesting cover of Be Thankful for What You Got. Good musicians too (Buzzy Feiten, Bobby Lyle, Harvey Mandel) Sounds a bit like what would happen if you stripped the Pop off of Lenny Kravitz and added some personality. tA  Tribal Disorder

http://www.soundclick.com...dID=182431 Yeah band is really good, possibly the best he's had. I also get the feel that he really put some effort into this one as opposed to most of his forever changes output which were really half-assed. The forever changes concert is also really enjoyable. Wish I had the chance to see him live. | |

Wish I had the chance to see him live. I was blessed to see Arthur live TWICE. Both with the band Baby Lemonade as his backing band. Baby Lemonade was a local L.A. band with two black dudes in the group that sounded just like The Beach Boys. SynthiaRose said "I'm in love with blackguitaristz.
