Sweet organ lines, heavy drums, and a great little groove throughout – a tight batch of groovers from the mighty Charles Kynard! The keyboardist is in fine 70s form here – stepping away from the sparer sound of his albums for Prestige with a fuller style for Mainstream Records – in a groove that's almost part blacksploitation funk, thanks to some sharp backings from arranger Richard Fritz! The mighty Paul Humphrey is at the bottom of the set on nicely funky drums – and other players include Arthur Adams on guitar, Chuck Rainey on bass, and some great additional horns, which give the record a larger jazzy finish, but never get in the way of Kynard's lean, mean organ lines. There's a great version of "Rock Steady" on the album, one that has a great funky intro – plus the cuts "Shout", "Lime Twig", "Slop Jar", "Name The Missing Word", "Little Ghetto Boy", and "Hot Sauce".

2012 three CD set, the seventh volume in the So80s series, this time with an Ibiza theme. Blank & Jones searched for the biggest anthems of this magic island during the 1980s. Long time before mass clubbing started on Ibiza in the 1990s, there was a true musical melting pot creating it's very own soundtrack. The legendary KU (now known as Privilege), the Amnesia or Pacha were all hot spots for the Jet Set of the beautiful, the rich and the famous. Here comes the soundtrack for this special time with the whole range from Wham!, Sandy Marton, Bandolero and Lime, but also with the secret anthems of Ibiza like Flash & the Pan, Tullio de Piscopo, Art of Noise, Carly Simon an Tony Esposito. Celebrate the Sound of Ibiza in the 80s with Blank & Jones!
