![[Leon-Haywood.webp|300]] ## Album Reviews ### Come And Get Yourself Some (1974) ![[get-yourself-some.png|200]] Another solid soul album from Haywood. Like "Back To Stay (1973)" it's not spectacular, but it's still pleasant, with no stinkers to be found. I would gladly play this from beginning to end again. I rather like it. [[6.5/10]] on [[2024-08-11]]. [Spotify link](https://open.spotify.com/album/4Q5sjR9gX9KmyhYOa39bYi?si=MZwLUZj_T7q8boGsafuB0A). **Best tracks:** - "I Want'a Do Something Freaky To You" - Sampled by [[Snoop Dogg]]. - "Who You Been Giving It Up To" - "I Know What Love Is" ### Keep It In The Family (1974) ![[in-the-family.png|200]] Not quite as strong as "Back To Stay (1973)", but still solid. "That Sweet Woman Of Mine" is a very pretty song and my favourite from the album. [[5/10]] on [[2024-08-09]] **Best tracks:** - "That Sweet Woman Of Mine" - "You'll Never Walk Alone" - "Don't Push It Don't Force It" - A catchy, if repetitive, song ### Back To Stay (1973) ![[back-to-stay.png|200]] A tight 32 minute of fairly pedestrian [[soul]] music. However it's weirdly good this album. There's a charisma to it. And despite being short there's room for "Long As There's You (I Got Love)", a repetitive, building track that feels 'dirtier' then the rest of the album and is one of the better songs here, featuring some good electric guitar.

[Spotify link](https://open.spotify.com/album/1ZisSmUOPL7FA6hOTo56Y9?si=SSw4QlSCRwWCWS22LKSzOg). **Best tracks:** - "Let Them Walk" - "One Way Ticket To Loveland" - "Long As There's You (I Got Love)" *** Created: [[2024-08-09]]
