Lou Bond
Lou Bond [reissue] - Light In The Attic
FILTER Grade: 86%

Lou Bond is not to be categorized—not in 1974 when his self-titled album was originally released and not now with its re-issue. As always, the utopian jazzman bellows from his soul, creating an airy tension between anguish and hope. “Why Must Our Eyes Always Be” remains as poignant, political and slightly humorous as it was 36 years ago. Complete with bonus tracks including a live cover of the blues tune, “I’m So In Love With You,” and stand-out “I’m for You,” this baby proves “Bond is like no other artist in the business—past or present.”
