The Poet (CD)
Bobby Womack
Amoeba Review
Bobby Womack's 1981 release The Poet revitalized the soul legend's career, combining a slick contemporary sound with his bluesy vocal style. This year it receives a 40th anniversary reissue, remastered with new liner notes. Like much of the album, the hit single "If You Think You're Lonely Now" has a timeless R&B feel, with groovy bass, gentle electric guitar and a soaring back-up chorus. "Where Do We Go From Here" is another familiar classic while "So Many Sides of You" with its strong bassline and jazzy piano chords is a fun, catchy track.
