01/23/2007 | This is a Buddy Miles track from "Band of Gypsies" that Miles sings lead on. Miles had a minor hit with it later that year ( 1970) that used to get a lot of play on FM radio, but has apparently vanished from their playlists. Essentially a soul/ rock track with a very addictive and explosive riff, and some impassioned singing from Miles. The riff of this song was taken ( some might say lifted) from a long- forgotten act called The New York Rock Ensemble, a band that put out 5 records that were a kind of synthesis of classical music and various forms of rock/ pop that included a fellow named Michael Kamen, who did a lot of film scores and worked with Metallica, Bowie, Clapton, and many other big names over the years before he died a few years ago. The song is very good, though I actually think Miles' own version is a tad better.
