The late '60s and early '70s were a very productive time for Charles Earland. At his best, the organist delivered five-star gems during that period, such as Black Talk and Living Black – and at his worst, he provided decent, if unremarkable, albums like Black Drops. Although not in a class with Black Talk or Living Black, this Bob Porter-produced soul-jazz/hard bop LP is satisfying and generally enjoyable. Earland surrounds himself with mostly fellow Philadelphians, including tenor and soprano saxophonist Jimmy Heath, guitarist Maynard Parker, trombonist Clayton Pruden, and drummer Jimmy Turner – in fact, the only non-Philadelphian on Black Drops is trumpeter Virgil Jones. Highlights of the LP range from the driving hard bop of Earland's "Buck Green" and John Coltrane's "Lazybird" to a funky workout on Sly Stone's "Sing a Simple Song" and some mellow, congenial grooving on "Don't Say Goodbye," and Burt Bacharach's "Raindrops Keep Falling on My Head."


Black Drops was Charles Earland's followup to Black Talk, the blockbuster album he rode to fame in the soul-jazz organ wave of the late 1960s and early '70s. Earland brought back Virgil Jones on trumpet. He enlisted his fellow Philadelphian Jimmy Heath for the tenor saxophone role so crucial to organ groups. The little-known trombonist Clayton Pruden was another homeboy. Guitarist Maynard Parker and drummer Jimmy Turner were from Earland's road band. The organist demonstrates his ability to generate power in a number of grooves, from the outright funk of a Sly Stone song to a post-bop composition by John Coltrane. Earland's famous walking-bass pedal technique is much in evidence and his enormous energy is everywhere. He slides into tasty single-note lines on "Raindrops Keep Falling on My Head," a hit of the day that became a standard.
