When Johnnie Taylor recorded <I>Eargasm</I>, he was coming off a distinguished soul career at Stax, and disco seemed like alien territory to his rough, gospel-trained voice. But aided by longtime producer Don Davis (who gets most of the writing credits here) and the nuanced ka-bump of backing musicians borrowed from Funkadelic, he scored the first platinum-certified single, "Disco Lady." The rest of the disc is basically a full-on Southern-soul record--Taylor smoldering and preaching on the subject of how to treat a woman and the rhythm section doing an Al Green pitty-pat, gently bumping blues about devotion and jealousy--with kitschy disco strings grafted on and the occasional keyboard squiggle livening things up. <I>--Douglas Wolk</I>

Johnnie Taylor was one of the last of the soul greats. Eargasm found him at his commercial peak. "Disco Lady" was the hit, a concession to the formula of the day. But buried deep in this set were two of his greatest sides. "Running Out Of Lies" and "Pick Up The Pieces" are very much in the Stax/Volt mold. Heavy blues, the kind you don't get to hear much of anymore. Taylor would go on to make some very good cd's, but stick with this one. essential.
