Odyssey - Odyssey 1972 (Mowest)

Label : Mowest

Value :

A key moment in the west coast years of Motown -- and one of the most unique albums the label recorded during the early 70s! The group's got a mixture of soul, funk, and rock -- served up by a hip lineup of younger longhairs who make for a real change from the class and poise of Detroit in the decade before! There's a freewheeling vibe here that takes inspiration from Sly & The Family Stone, but which is handled with some more acoustic elements and jazzier phrasing at times too -- a really great Free Soul quality that's kept the album an under-discovered treasure for years. The whole thing feels more like a lost A&M gem from the Laurel Canyon scene.
