Reid Inc

Dustygrooves view;

An obscure female soul project from 70s-era TK Records -- one that features production by Clarence Reid, hence the group's name! The groove here is very much in the best Miami club mode of the time -- upbeat, but still nicely gritty overall -- more fast funk in the instrumentation, with slight touches of strings -- and vocals from the quartet that slide nicely into the rhythms, which themselves bear plenty of TK touches! The whole thing's got a feel that's a lot better than you might guess from the cover -- kind of a rougher take on the Gwen McCrae vibe of the time, almost set loose to do things with a more relaxed approach overall. And the vocals are surprisingly strong at points too -- with one singer coming to the forefront with a deeper soul mode than you might expect. Titles include "I'll Be Damned If It's Me", "What Am I Gonna Do", "Push Me Back In The Corner", "More Of A Woman", "That's How It Is When You Are In Love", "New York City", and "This Time Tomorrow".
