Stop and Go

VINYL FORMAT. Exact reissue of the debut album from Bohannon, as originally released by Dakar in 1972. "Hamilton Bohannon's finest record concocts sensuous funk grooves from daring arrangements boasting tripped-out wah-wah guitars, punishing basslines, and massive drum breaks. In short, a sampler's wet dream. While later Bohannon discs would veer too far into the realm of up-tempo disco, Stop and Go favors slower, sexier rhythms. Add in the chorus vocals of the Haywood Sisters on tracks like 'Run It on Down, Mr. D.J.' and the remarkable 'Singing a Song for My Father,' and the end result is the kind of uncommonly lush and tactile funk album R. Kelly would skip recess to make." -- Allmusic.com.
