Mpongo Love is not particularly important to me; what is important is that because this is a singer's album, the backings have a freshness not always found around guitar heavies (and there are some heavyweight pickers on this) -a keep-it-simple feeling that really works well. There is also some very nice organ work. Enjoy! ~ Carl Hoyt
