Pittsburgh's finest tighty-whiteys are your classic one hit wonder, something about white boys and funky music. But they clawed their way to that hit, having released numerous - and obscure - rock singles throughout the early 70s. When it was time for a full length album, they were wise to jump on the oncoming disco movement. Cash in!
I Love My Music is Wild Cherry's 3rd full length album. How about that cover, eh? Gee, I wonder when this was released? I think Bob Guccione designed it. So I got my platform shoes and top hat on, and was ready to boogie-woogie. If only it were a disco album. On this point, Wild Cherry are pretty good actually. But those blue-eyed soul moments. Whooo... man, that's rough going there. As with a lot of disco albums, the musicianship is at a higher level than ever given credit for. And here you have the Brecker brothers in tow.
Overall not so bad. No need to hide in the closet while listening to it. You are liberated! Go free young man/woman/both/neither/non-binary/whatever.
There's a price to pay for getting LPs for a $1. "The first one is on me...". Checks into clinic....
