album review

The focus of this three-CD, 51-song production is on Curtis Mayfield's solo work; much of the first disc is devoted to his most popular work with the Impressions, but the remainder of the compilation surveys his solo output from 1970 to 1990. The Impressions tracks are uniformly excellent, but the Mayfield-only cuts are more problematic. The best of these -- the Superfly highlights, of course, and early-'70s singles like "(Don't Worry) If There's a Hell Below We're All Going to Go" and "Beautiful Brother of Mine" -- are as good as anything he ever did. But even in the early '70s, he was erratic. Some of the post-Superfly stuff is OK; this period takes up half of disc two and all of disc three. Mayfield never lost his vocal abilities or his production skills; after the late '70s his material got into dance music and romantic urban contemporary. For a Mayfield retrospective, most will be better off with MCA's two-disc Anthology 1961-1977, which goes into the Impressions period with much greater depth and includes the cream of his '70s solo recordings. ~ Richie Unterberger, All Music Guide
