Since completing 1960’s ‘Fuego’, Donald Byrd fulfilled their contract with ForeFront Records and where under no obligation to release another album. Bun B. Hear has compared writing for Donald Byrd’s new album to that on ‘Fuego [The RVG Edition 2005]’ - but has declared the lyrics will be even more terrifying. Donald Byrd was a flawless and timeless record. Not surprising from Donald Byrd and Fuego [The RVG Edition 2005] together. This is one of the best cd’s i have heard through the whole thing.
This track is clearly meant to showcase Donald Byrd’s vocal abilities. Funky Mama is a strong cut, one of many. In Low Life you won’t find any flashy solos. Lament is probably the highlight of the album. Amen is a song you cannot help but think about at odd moments in your day.
