Bar-Kays - Too Hot To Stop (1976) & Flying High On Your Love (1977) [2010, Remastered Reissue]

Cherry Red affiliate Superbird pairs Bar-Kays' first two albums for Mercury, the label to which the band defected after a long and productive run with Stax. Both recordings reached the Top Ten of Billboard's R&B albums chart. Too Hot to Stop, released in 1976, features the singles "Shake Your Rump to the Funk," "Too Hot to Stop," and "Spellbound," while Flying High on Your Love spawned "Let's Have Some Fun" and "Attitudes." Comparable to what their P-Funk brothers and sisters were releasing at the time, these are two of the band's most enjoyable albums, though they're not without a fair amount of filler. This is a straight-up two-for-one compilation with no bonus tracks.

~Review by Andy Kellman

Digitally remastered two-fer containing a pair of consecutive albums from the Soul outfit: Too Hot to Sleep (1976) and Flying High on Your Love (1977). in 1971 the veteran group hired their first lead vocalist Larry Dodson and his unique vocals and James Alexander's cranked to the max bass really was the new Bar-Kays, with no other pretensions than aiming straight for the dance floor with a series of Funk workouts that set the template for many of the groups that followed in the late '70s. If there was a sub-genre of Funk called Southern Funk The Bar-Kays were the leaders and were one of the hottest acts around Too Hot Too Stop was perhaps their finest hour and the following year's Flying High on Your Love confirmed their stature.
