Curtis Mayfield – There’s No Place Like America Today (1975)

A great album by Curtis -- filled with some excellent lesser-known gems! There's No Place Like America was Curtis' scathing testament to the State Of The Union -- and it's got a hip political tone that's right up there with the best of his early 70s songwriting -- perhaps even more so, as the message is a bit subtler than on other albums, and laid out in this stoner mellow funk vein that's very tasty throughout, and which makes for an extremely unified album! The album includes a version of the cut "Hard Times", which was done earlier by Baby Huey, plus "Blue Monday People", "Love To The People", and "When Seasons Change". Also includes the great sweet love song, "So In Love"!
