From Billboard - March 20, 1971: Mann back with his version of the Memphis sound - in this case with large dollops of avant jazz. Actually only the title tune is Memphis recorded, the rest being done in Los Angeles and New York. Backing Mann's flute are Roy Ayers, Larry Coryell, Sonny Sharrock and there is enough electricity in the cuts to give the album wide appeal in the rock market too.
