Hot foot from San Diego, California, comes this soulful single from... no, not Midle Of The Road, the Ministers Of Reconciliation. Both tracks have the veneer of concert recordings - but don't be fooled by the canned applause, the orchesĀtra's tuning up or the MC's preachy welcome. The production team of Lamont Pete and Nate Young were clearly intent on throwing in every possible sound effect that they could lay their hands on in the delightfully named Black Coffee Studio. They even threw in a couple of gales for good measure. Yet despite (he artificial atmospherics the funky MOR and lead vocalist Evangel are well able lo do justice to a great pair of Michelle Thompson songs.
