CD Reviews"A Classic in the Jazz Fusion genre" L. Kelsey | Riverside, CA. United States | 03/20/2005 (5 out of 5 stars) "Is Ronnie Laws' "Friends and Strangers." I remember many a night, listening to KUTE 102 when they would jam cuts from this CD. "Goodtime Ride," "Saturday Evening," "Nuthin from Nuthin" and "Life in Paradise" are my favorite jams, but the ultimate one is the title track, "Friends and Strangers." Ronnie makes his sax sing on that one and for me it was on my "summer soundtrack" for '77. It was during the Jazz Fusion era of the '70's that I became a Jazz fan. To me, just as fans point to the Cool era, or the Bop era as being significant, I feel the music created by Ronnie Laws, Hubert Laws, Donald Byrd, Stanley Clarke and others of this era, stands the test of time. This CD is an excellent introduction for those who want to know what I'm talking about. A GROOVING MASTERPIECE!" I would give this 10 stars! His best work K. Frazier | NJ United States | 12/31/2004 (5 out of 5 stars) "All i can say is this is one Funky/Jazz CD. GREAT, GREAT, I finally go it last week, and i can not stop palying it. The background singers (his sisters) Sound so good, while the music is playing. He can sing too! What a Great CD, get it if you can find it, it's worth whatever you have to pay."
