Capsule review: Beach boys - Sunflower (1970)

Patchy new start. Some lovely, but as a whole quite schmaltzy. I don't think that was the intention. They lack direction.

Capsule review: Baby Huey - The Baby Huey story (1970)

Unfinished, part-Curt Mayfield old school, part-Sly Stone psychedelic soulfunk, debut. 'A change is gonna come' goes to the ghetto, a 9 minute highlight, every shriek.

Capsule review: Kevin Ayers - Shooting at the moon (1970)

The band takes over the record. Too much noodling, not enough Ayers.

Capsule review: Delfonics - Delfonics (1970)

Lush, romantic early '70s soul to perfection. Fall in love all over again.

Capsule review: Louis Armstrong - What a wonderful world (1970)

Very late (last?) Armstrong session. He's a guest in his own band and he doesn't really know these songs ('Everybody's talking', 'Give peace a chance' and others). The title track is definitely not the performance we all know. But it works. Moving stuff, filled with his big hearted personality.
