One of the greatest soundtracks of the blacksploitation era served up with some incredible grooves from maestro JJ Johnson! The album's got a non-stop, hard-hitting groove that ranks it with the best of its time and which is arguably even better, because most of the record isn't nearly as well known as Shaft, Superfly, or other classics. Martha Reeves sings some of the deepest vocals of her career on the great title track "Willie D" an old sample cut that you're sure to recognize and the instrumental tunes are even better, filled with great percussion and jazzy flourishes from JJ in a style that really keeps things interesting! There's plenty of "chase" riffing on the album and titles include "Willie Chase", "Parade Strut", "Make It Right", "Gospel Family", "Keep On Movin", and "Willie Escapes". © 1996-2021, Dusty Groove, Inc. https://www.dustygroove.com/item/736408/JJ-Johnson-Martha-Reeves:Willie-Dynamite-Original-Soundtrack
