Sale!
The music and singing are pleasant enough on this Montrealer's second outing.
He avoids embarrassments like "Mama Coco" from the following year's Storm at Sunup, but lyrics are not his strong point.
This release includes two of his stronger tunes in "People Gotta Move" and the title track.
His heart is in the right place, as in a tribute to Jim Croce.
Still, Vannelli should have left social commentary to others, or joined forces with a better lyricist.
