Title: Title track worth the CD price
Review: I have been waiting about 15 years for this recording to go CD. I recorded the title track off the radio around 1996 and kept it on master cassette all these years. A soulful bluesy ballad, this track exudes a sultry sound unlike any other jazz trio ballad I've heard before or since. Very lyrical with "right-on-time", bluesy chord changes by John HIcks and a sensual, bass-walking performance by, I'm guessing, Ray Drummond. Guess I won't know who the bassist is for certain until the CD arrives. If the remainder of the tracks are anywhere near "Lover Man" quality, this could become my favorite jazz trio CD. The Lover Man track? - a masterpiece.
