Album Notes & Community Reviews

The Isley Brothers delivered an absolute masterclass in heavily synthesized, guitar-shredding R&B with the spectacular 'Go for Your Guns'. Anchored by Ernie Isley's blistering fuzz-rock leads and Ronald Isley's profoundly soulful vocals, the record is a fiercely rhythmic, incredibly warm funk triumph brimming with beautifully romantic, sensual slow jams.
