Just Me N You (Lp)

2020 re-issue, 140g vinyl. A dramatic, string-drenched epic, James Ralph Baileys Just Me N You has been a sought-after soul masterpiece for decades. A lush suite of beautiful songs, it was conceived as a concept album; a sophisticated paean to love. Originally released by MAM Records in 1974, Just Me N You is a breathtaking jazzy soul album. Its similar in style to Marvin Gayes Whats Going On - particularly the performances, orchestrations and chord progressions - but dealing with a different universal subject matter. If Whats Going On was about romance instead of politics, it would sound like this. Fans of Marvin, Leon Ware, Donny Hathaway, Leroy Hutson and Willie Hutch will love this record. Not as well known - this is definitely an underrated gem - the work of James Ralph Bailey is no less mind-blowing. Its got to be one of the best soul albums of all time.
