Although he's known as one of the great latter-day soul singers, Clay spent much of his adolescence in a touring gospel group with his family; on this album, he returns to his roots. It's mostly traditional fare, heavy on the piano and Hammond organ, although a few tunes have a mid '70s disco groove. In any case, Clay sings all of them with a gorgeous mixture of passion and delicacy. His voice brings to mind, inevitably, Sam Cooke's work with the Soul Stirrers, in particular on "Every Road (Got to End Somewhere). Historical note: R&B singer Barbara Acklin, who co-wrote the Chi-Lites hit "Have You Seen Her" can be heard here on background vocals.
