4.0 out of 5 stars Most underrated Sly Stone album...worth the money!, November 8, 2001

It's too bad this album is only available as an import because it truly ranks with Sly's most seminal works. Combine the raw funk of 'Riot' with the jazzy melodies of 'Fresh' and that's pretty much what you get here. Dig deep into your wallet for this one if you have to because you'll marvel at how good it is.

This album is one of the main reasons why I don't buy the argument that everything recorded by Sly Stone after "Fresh" isn't worth listening to. I bought this disc with low expectations, but after one listen I was convinced that this album was overlooked. To me, "High On You" is like a more upbeat "There's A Riot Goin' On". It almost seems like this album had the same production quality with the funk format of heavy bass, keyboards, backup vocalists, and driving beats. The main difference between the two albums is the lyrics: Sly seemed to be in a much better mood when this one was recorded. This disc seems a little looser and jazzier too. The instrumental "Green Eyed Monster Girl" is a good example, with a funky keyboard solo that sprawls over the entire four minute track. The liner notes indicate that Sly had a heavy hand in the recording of "High On You", stating that he played "Everything - ?!!". It makes sense then that this album was credited to him rather than Sly and the Family Stone. However, this album seems to have been dismissed, which is a shame. This may not have been his most memorable work, but this is a damn funky album and I can't find fault with that.

This review is from: High on You (Audio CD)

overall I'd say this Album is about a 3&a half because I wouldn't put it alongside His Peak&Prime Albums like "There's a Riot Going on","Fresh" or even "Small Talk" but in His Defense the title track here is Nice&"Crossword Puzzle" is a Jam that you gotta have.He has some Good Moments on this set but this Set should be available for all as should all of His Catelog because The Guy is way too Important for Music to be not getting any Full Love for His GENIUS Contributions.
