‘It’s always summer somewhere, but especially so wherever Cheryl Glasgow’s carefree clubber Glued To The Spot gets a spin. An absolute ear-worm from the opening strums, Glasgow’s Sade-adjacent, jazz vocalese sweeps into a warm up-tempo groove, never breaking sweat. Issued on Ross Anderson’s short-lived, London-based Live label, Glued To The Spot swept through the club scene briefly in 1987, embarking for warmer shores when the season changed.’
Fiery, head-banging deep funk by this Louisiana guitarist; originally out on Eddie ‘Goldband’ Shuler’s ANLA label, in 1967.
