The World Is a Ghetto is a cool album. The music is funk with some soul mixed in. I suppose it's not unexpected for a funk band to jam, but these despite the heavy grooves which most time keep one grounded in the here and now, a couple of the jams have an eerie psychedelic and ethereal quality to them. That's certainly something to be expected for a late '60s psychedelic band or a prog rock band, but not a funk band.
The sound quality is nice. The instruments can be heard clearly and they are balanced against each other quite well.
I think this is a darn good album. It's fun and certainly worth listening to. While all the songs are good, I think it's too disjointed to be a coherent album. I almost think this album doesn't belong on the 1001 Albums list, but there's some pretty interesting things being done musically on songs like Four Cornered Room and The World Is a Ghetto that seem ahead of their time.
All the songs are excellent. The stand-outs are: The Cisco Kid, City, Country, City, Four Cornered Room and The World Is a Ghetto.
★★★★★★★★★☆
