Exile • Mixed Emotions
Warner Brothers BSK 3205
33-RPM LP
I’m sure that nearly everyone has a song or two that they really like, but are somewhat embarrassed to admit it. One of my guilty pleasures that fits into this category is Exile’s Kiss You All Over, from their third album, Mixed Emotions. With the exception of Kiss You All Over, the music is a so-so blend of soft rock and country, with a traces of disco sneaking in now and then.
The sound is pretty good considering the genre. The bass is warm and the snare has that typical late 1970s wet sound. Not an audiophile spectacular, but I’ve heard much worse so feel free to spin this one when you think no-one else is listening!
