Description
The music on Lou Bond eponymous album is its own animal. Bond really went out on a limb here by presenting Bond’s soulful, folk-influenced singer/songwriter protest songs with a blend of Memphis soul, orchestral strings, and jazzy horn charts. The tempos stay slow and dreamy, which may have made it a hard sell on its original release in 1974, but it’s just as likely that the combination of soul and folk wasn’t something people were ready for.
