Lou Bond only made one album but what an album it was. Politically charged, deeply introspective, and wonderfully lyrical, 1974's Lou Bond is reminiscent of the Eugene McDaniels releases Headless Heroes of the Apocalypse and Outlaw (both out previously on Real Gone) in its outspoken, idiosyncratic social commentary. But there is a sensitivity here that's devastating; Bond's falsetto soaring over his strummed acoustic guitar brings to mind Bill Withers (whose "Let Me into Your Life" he covers) at his most affecting, while the orchestrated arrangements summon What's Going On vibes. With comparisons like those, you know this record is special, but Lou Bond is a one-of-a-kind album that really defies comparison (despite our best efforts). For this ALLANALOG reissue, we had our friends at Well Made Music cut lacquers directly from the original tapes, and pressed the record at Gotta Groove Records. Available either in black vinyl or clear yellow. Both Outkast and Mary K. Blige sampled Lou Bond that's because it's one of the lynchpin albums of Memphis soul
