Curtis Mayfield - There's No Place Like America Today (1975) {Charley}
It's hard to pick a favorite Curtis Mayfield album, and my judgment is surely clouded by the fact that this album was under-celebrated at the time and still often overlooked. But as speaking objectively as I can, this is surely Mayfield at the top of his game. And possibly my favorite album. Clive Anderson's liner notes on this Charly reissue may be a bit pretentious, opening up with a citation from Wordsworth, but they do pretty much nail the album and do it justice. The album is like an extended meditation on the American underclass, and particularly the despair in the Black communities in the mid-70s. He is right to point out that (unlike previous albums, like his landmark Superfly), this record "refrains from excoriating Black Americans for their predicament." Gone are the warnings about self-destruction, as well as the anthems of 'racial uplift' like Move On Up or Miss Black America. It's as if the utopian optimism born in the Civil Rights movement, and its counterpart in revolutionary consciousness like that found in the Panthers, have fizzled out into a resignation to the grim realities. Still, the record may be spare and solemn, but it's not bleak. Music can still get you through the hard times, and Mayfield manages to show us the redemption found in everyday moments and daily struggle, of turning to the people close to you when everything else has let you down.Track List
