SLY & THE FAMILY STONE
A WHOLE NEW THING (1967)
REMASTER
320 KBPS
In 1967, the phrase "New Thing" had been applied to free jazz, so when Sly Stone dubbed his debut A Whole New Thing, his addition of Whole was vital. He kicked out "Underdog" with long horn lines, fast rhythms, and his own urgent delivery--certainly an opening salvo that spoke multiple languages. The horn charts hit the soul tip, and the energy jumped in the psychedelic rock volcano with gusto. "Trip to Your Heart," with its warpy effects and stoned backing vocals, hit the high mark for the Family's foray into psychedlia, where "Turn Me Loose," with its rapid, jerking funk rhythms and quick, sharp horn blasts, made it clear that Sly was simpatico with the revolution that took the beats to the streets. And for good measure, "Let Me Hear It from You" is all slow-smolder, an expert R&B ballad delivered by bass virtuoso Larry Graham. The five bonus tracks round out what remains a far-reaching, claim-staking debut that belongs in every collection.
