The 8th Day

by Andrew Hamilton8th Day's membership remains a mystery. Were the members interchangeable with 100 Proof (Aged in Soul)? Three of these tracks are on 100 Proofs' debut album: "I've Come to Save You," "Too Many Cooks," and "She's Not Just Another Woman" -- the same identical tracks and vocals. A Melvin Davis solo release, "I'm Worried," also appears here. "She's Not Just Another Woman," with its passionate singing and jerky beat, assaulted the charts; their next release, "You've Got to Crawl Before You Walk," features a thick funky groove. A good album with a few outstanding tracks and no weak ones.
