#348 Curtis Mayfield – There’s No Place Like America Today

Posted on by anoceanroars

Curtis Mayfield is back in the list with There’s No Place Like America Today. I did not really care for his Super Fly album. I have a feeling I will not like this one either.

I do like “So in Love” a lot and “Billy Jack” a little and “Blue Monday People” is interesting.

Overall, Mayfield sings in a falsetto that I do not find listenable. His song about “Jesus” is interesting, but it goes nowhere. It is all the same throughout so I did not enjoy the journey, if there was one. The other problem is that the songs are too long.

Mayfield’s music is better than his singing. I can hear who Prince listened to while growing up. He did Mayfield better than Mayfield did. 6/10

…and i hate writing about myself. It feels awkward. Or i am a bit awkward and rather not write about it. i have not got a clue where to begin or end… …at this very moment i am a recent graduate of Colorado State University. i live in Longmont, Colorado, which i next to Boulder. Boulder is where all hipsters live. See, this crap is rather boring. i moved here from Budapest, Hungary four years ago, well, actually that is sort of a lie. i was living in Lyon, France one year before i moved to Colorado and before that Hungary. i like to travel or move. i keep moving… i have many interest besides moving: writing, watching, taking, listening and reading (stories, films, photographs, music and books).
