Quite a rare one from George Benson -- a set recorded during his late 60s run during the CTI/A&M years -- but one that wasn't formally issued until the mid 80s! The style here is a great link between some of Benson's fuller work of the time, and some of the leaner grooves he'd cut with Creed Taylor once CTI broke ranks with A&M -- the funkier Benson that really sparkled nicely in the early 70s. George actually does an early bit of singing here -- sometimes scatting with his guitar, sometimes singing the lyrics more directly -- all in a really unique way that's a bit different than his more polished vocals on Warner Brothers. Other cuts are a bit grittier, and almost show a link to funky jazz on Blue Note or Prestige at the time -- with some especially heavy percussion on the bottom that really makes things groove. Titles include "Bluesadelic", "Durham's Turn", "Out Of The Blue", "Good Morning Blues", "I Worry Bout You", and "Without Her".
