Album Notes & Community Reviews

Teaming up with the Crusaders as his primary backing band, 'Take It Home' finds the blues legend injecting deep funk and jazz-inflected grooves into his signature sound. The collaboration modernizes his twelve-bar foundations, emphasizing tight horn arrangements and slick rhythm tracks without sacrificing the sting of his iconic 'Lucille' guitar tone. It remains a surprisingly effective and highly energetic late-seventies crossover effort.
