Remastered Fat Possum edition. A truly incendiary deep soul performer, O.V. Wright's melismatic vocals and Willie Mitchell's vaunted Hi Rhythm Section combined to make classic Memphis soul during the early '70s. 1979's 'The Bottom Line' is mostly made up of ballads, the single 'I Don't Do Windows' stands apart as the only up-tempo exception. Bobby Womack's 'That's the Way I Feel About Cha' gets a nice Southern soul makeover. A "late night jazz bar everybody gone home contemplative" 'I Don't Know Why' is similar to a lesser known Stevie Wonder track, coincidentally of the same name. The shimmering 'A Little More Time' deserves special mention: starting out as a roll call of soul singers who had died way before their time, it's a tribute of prophetic proportions
