Album Notes Engineers: Ron Capone, Bobby Manuel, Steve Cropper, Gordon Rudd. Originally released on Volt (6006). Digitally remastered by Phil De Lancie (1990, Fantasy Studios, Berkeley). Personnel: Steve Cropper (guitar). After years of being a team player, Steve Cropper got to make a solo album for the label he helped put on the map, Stax Records (actually their Volt subsidiary). As you might figure, it turned out as an instrumental soul album, and a darn good one, too. It's a bona fide Telecaster-soaked dance workout, with Cropper turning in signature versions of "Land of a Thousand Dances," "99 1/2," (which features a particularly nasty period fuzz guitar), "Funky Broadway," "Boo-Ga-Loo Down Broadway," "In the Midnight Hour," and original instrumentals like "Crop Dustin'" and the closer "Rattlesnake." A solid and soulful little side project that holds up quite well years later. ~ Cub Koda
