An incredible rebound for Graham, his peak commercially and probably artistically as well: the irresistable funk pop single "Your Love" went gold; the band is spotlighted on the powerful instrumental "The Jam"; Chocolate makes the most of her vocal feature, a cover of Ann Peebles' "I Can't Stand The Rain" (everything else is by Graham); and there are plenty of heavy grooves ("It's Alright," "Water"). Even the weaker tracks are endearing: the record company ode "It Ain't Nothing But A Warner Bros. Party" and the over-the-top Broadway belter "Luckiest People." This is the band at its tightest, and Graham at his most focused - if you're curious about GCS, start here. --David Bertrand Wilson, WARR.org
