Across 110th Street

Released

Across 110th Street’s soundtrack is made up of six Bobby Womack songs and five instrumentals from composer and trombonist J.J. Johnson. Johnson contributes brassy, fast-paced tracks heavy on the overdriven clav along with moodier, sultry, semi-easy listening pieces. Womack meanwhile, is in fine form with the anthemic title track, a gossamer-light acoustic version of his gorgeous ‘If You Don’t Want My Love’ from his ‘Communication’ album of the previous year, and ‘Do It Right’ which is absolutely packed with exquisite guitar work tucked into every corner of the mix.
