One of the poorest albums that
George Clinton
was ever involved with.
Ruth Copeland
couldn't decide whether she was a
pop
,
folk
funk
, or a
soul
singer. She was closer to
than anything, but her weak voice even had trouble putting across material in that genre. Her songs bordered on the esoteric-absurd. Opinions differ, but some favorite tunes are
"Gift of Me,"
done
a capella
;
"Your Love Been So Good to Me,"
a
rocker
accented by
Eddie Hazel
's acid lead guitar; and
"I Got a Thing for You Daddy,"
the closest thing to the
Parliarment
/
Funkadelic
sound here.
"The Music Box"
as a single release isn't bad, it's just boring, but others like
"Thanks for the Birthday Card,"
"William in the Night"
(ugh), and
"Bel Di (One Fine Day)"
will have you scratching your head and possibly breaking this record. ~ Andrew Hamilton
