U.S issue from 1975. Unfortunately Syl Johnson tended to disappear in between Willie Mitchell and Al Green, but on this LP he takes his harmonica up to the microphone and stands clear as a lapsed Bluesman. His voice is still shriller, and more strained than Green's, but that can be a satisfying distinction in the right context. A comparison of his unexceptionably dynamic rendition of 'Take Me to the River' to Green's sublime original, however, renews one's understanding of what divine spark might be.
