Sick of seeing one white artist after another take their original songs and make them hits with cover versions, the Isley Brothers decided to return the favor and produce an album of cover songs. Of course, it's fucking incredible and puts many of the originals to complete shame. Their version of Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young's "Ohio" in particular is just electric, taking an already incredible song and turning it into a psychedelic funk soul freak out of truly epic proportions. One of the most consistently excellent albums the band produced during this period.
