C.J. And Co. - Deadeye Dick (1978)



Funky disco work from CJ & Co -- one of those groups that really seemed to make the best transition from the earlier Westbound years into the storming disco sound of the later 70s! The group's working here under key production from Mike Theodore and Dennis Coffey -- storming to the top of the Theodore groove with a tight weave of funky guitars, soaring keys, and sweeping strings. Tracks are all long, and titles include "Big City Sidewalk", "Deadeye Dick", "Burning Drums Of Fire", "You're Still The Sweetest Thing In My Life", and "Hear Say". (Cover has creasing, a promo stamp on front, & ringwear.)
