“Not Alone” is a big guitar, straight ahead blues rock number, with “Yeah yeah” call and response vocal from J.C. but truly this is the Uptown Sound’s tune. “River” is a big torchy ballad, showing off J.C.’s Sam Cook-sims, some superb backing vocals from Tina M. Howell, but here Rosenstein steels the show with his expert ivory tinkling. And “Control” is another thickly layered piece of funk with a David Bowie in his Station-to-Station period vibe to it.
