Album Notes & Community Reviews
The Dayton, Ohio funk powerhouse Slave reached a commercial and creative zenith with the release of 'Stone Jam'. Propelled by Mark Adams' incredibly thick, virtuosic basslines and Steve Arrington's soaring vocals, the album is a masterclass in tight, groove-heavy R&B. It spawned the monumental hit 'Watching You', seamlessly bridging the gap between heavy 1970s funk and early 1980s boogie.
