JUNIE - BREAD ALONE  - CBS 1980 - WALTER (JUNIE) MORRISON
 
This is one of those albums that have slipped under the radar for a few people, seems to be the case with most Junie records. I personally didn't know at the time I found this record that the ex Ohio Player and Parlaimentarian had embarked on a solo career -
Solid enough, I thought while listening to it, exactly what you’d expect that sleaze funk sound, lots of fuzz and groany almost whiney vocals, flip it over to the B side, look at the back of the sleeve and there’s a track whose title immediately gets my attention – Impatiently drop the needle on the third track and there's the faint sound of what sounds like a serious baseline which slowly builds with volume, eventually you get this full blast of power funk it’s a dirty, filthy track – the base line says sleaze all through - triple xxx and I loved every single second of  its 7 and a half minutes.

The other tracks are above average but it really is all about first class seaman (Jock rock) – I’ve never used the phrase desert island disc – maybe because I’ve never pictured my self on a desert island  - but if I ever was on one this track is coming with me alongside a life supply of shredded wheat.
