3.0 out of 5 stars Mediocre., November 16, 2000

As my title says: mediocre. This album is just that, nothing new or extra pleasing here.

This is a 2fer1 combining 'The Sweet Life' and 'The Cisco Kid' originaly released on the Groove Merchant label.

The standout track is 'Inner City Blues' which you can find elsewhere, on a number of compilations, for example (Pulp Fusion comes to mind on Harmless records). There is a nice cover of 'Superfly', and the tune 'Cisco Kid' isn't bad at all either. But the rest is pretty forgettable. Try to seek out his 'Blue Break Beats' CD - it is much more adventurous and exciting - and pass this one on.

Simply the best of Reuben Wilson. First time I let it play four times, till my wife said are you still listening to that same disc?

Every song is well done, plenty of groovin' B3 Reuben style. You will not be disappointed if you dig B3 organ R&B, Jazz and good 'ol funk!
