Bobby Womack
The Facts of Life
United Artists LA043F

Bobby Womack recorded something of a concept album with Facts of Life in 1973. Both in lyrical content as in sound (save maybe for the all-out rock closer All Along the Watchtower), theres a sense of longing and heartbreak here draped in warm, carressing soul grooves that are embellished with the tiniest amount of orchestration, creating a laid-back, relaxing, warm bath of melodic hooks, funky grooves and soulful philosophies on the wiles of love. Bobby totally transforms his mentor Sam Cookes Nobody Wants You When Youre Down and Out into a dark, world-weary mid-tempo soul outing, conjuring up the Across 110th. Street vibe with its shimmering strings and pulsating beat.
